This week to break the monotany we asked a Spanish speaking co-worker to teach us some spanish.
It is fun, I like how the words roll & sound.
On Tuesday she taught us perro which is dog. She really rolled her R's on this word. It was at this moment I found out that I am Spanish disabled, I can't roll my R's.
She told me that everyone can do it. It takes practice. I practiced all day Wednesday to no avail.
I googled this, thinking that I would find that some people just can't Trill.
Instead I found a Wiki on How to roll your R's.
I practiced these techniques on the way to work this morning. I was surprised & excited when my tongue started vibrating against the roof of my mouth.
I will keep practicing because the Trill does not come easy to me. I seem to be forcing too much air.
