Can you roll your Rs?

I can't roll my Rs and it's always bugged me.  I can't even figure out how people do it.  lol

Can you?

Re: Can you roll your Rs?

  • Sure can and I think it is super cute when people can't!
  • I can.  Chavis has to really concentrate, which I think is precious.

    I can roll my tongue, but my mom and sister can't...can you?

    Wow, Tisha, that's one talented tongue you have! Wink

    I can roll my Rs, and I can also roll/flip my tongue.  I cannot, however, touch my nose with my tongue.

  • Funny you should post this, we did a trivia night on Friday and one of the questions was what percent of people can roll their tongue, I believe the answer was 65%.

    I can roll my R's and roll my tongue, but I can't touch my tongue to my nose.

  • I cannot roll my r's and it annoys me.

    I can roll my tongue.

    I cannot touch it to my nose but I still try every time the question comes up.

  • My question is, can all people who speak spanish (like, that's their native tongue) roll their Rs?

  • Yes (4+ years of Spanish classes will do that to you) and DH thinks it's hysterical. We'll be driving and see a taqueria or a tortillarilla (remember, we live in San Diego) and he DEMANDS that I pronounce it, as he finds it hysterical that I don't do white-girl pronunciation.

    I can curl/flip my tongue, and roll both my Rs (at the back of my throat for a french R, and at the front with my tongue for a Finnish R). I used to practice my Finnish Rs with tongue twisters.  it's one thing to be able to produce the sound, and something altogether different to be able to roll your Rs within a word.

  • I can, and it was self taught.

    In high school spanish, my teacher said to say "ro-ro-ho" (as in rojo) over and over. So for like 3 days all I did was "ro ro ho ro ro ho." And one day, as I was waiting in line for a cookie, it happened!

    Sounds silly/stupid, but it worked for me :)
