Oh my god, I have been trying this forever, no luck EVER. And as soon as I tried saying “bird” it worked !!

In my language, R of "Ara" is quite vibrant, but the TT of Butter, or the T used in "Get out" don't sound to vibrate at all in comparison.

Extraordinarily clear and helpful for my Welsh r and rh, the latter sounding rather like a cat purring.

My partner and I grew up within 30 kilometers of each other in the Netherlands. He speaks with a rolled alveolar r which I cannot pronounce at all even after years of practicing. HOWEVER, I actually can roll my r's, but in my particular accent it's a rolled uvular r, which is absolutely impossible for him to pronounce, hehehe.

Hey, helpful video! one of the best ive found on this topic. But can somebody actually comment their journey or progress and how long It took you? I barely find any information from people who couldn't do it and now can. its always comments that are months or even years old saying they will learn, but never actually say if they got it, or people who seem just to get it instantly.... Is here anyone who couldn't do it before and can teach me a thing or few? I need it to learn Ukrainian and I barely got any time. I know that stressing probably will make it harder so even more important for me is the information if some actually got it after a relatively short period of time, so I got hope and motivation that its actually possible in that time and not just an exception. It was really helpful that you said you where in your twenties (as am i) and it took you about 2months. but I can't really find anyone else who could say the same. So please just comment your journeys and how long it took you. ill take any advise. Thank you!

Thank you. Rolled right away

could it be my speech problem that causes for me to not able to roll my R’s

Still still has absolutely no effect !

I have tried other guides and nothing tried this and first try I can do it that drain trick really works. I still have to think about it every time I want to do it for now.

I ACTAULLY SORT OF GOT A JUMBLED UP R after about 2 days of endless practice and I did it by saying (car tap,tap ro) really quickly lots of times and my tongue just got really tried and did a purring sound. Btw when ur doing make sure ur not curling ur young towards ur teeth unless it will stop the sound and it’s harder to make.

Englishman learning Welsh - I’ve long had trouble with the trilled R, but six months’ of practice after watching a number of vids and I’ve finally got it. Weirdly I got the invoiced rh one first. Still struggling with trilling the R at the end of words/syllables, especially if certain consonants immediately follow it.

What a great video - thank you so much. The best one on this subject I have seen. Will update you when I can trill

Great video ,defo took more from yr video than I thought ,been learning 40 days so far learned loaded ,up until this point just trying memorise everything, but time to learn mutations,I'm going keep at it every day until it stick ,great charts on wat changes to wat to wat ,soon as I learned that it will make sense it it gets changed ,but still don't know when it will change ?

Saved this video will be watching it tomorrow than u

Gwych!

Extremely helpful. No one has explained it as well as you from all my searching for help on this. Thank you!

My language literally has the trilled r and i cant even do it

I have been working on this roll and still can't do it.. :( I am so sad.

Wow! your guidance is so incredible, easy to practice and harness R sound

This is it - The first and only video that explains a method for training. All others simply say "why can't you do it?" or "just do it !"

Many thanks. English speaker, never able to to the roll. Have some basic Spanish and you are the first teacher who I've seen explain about about the "flicked R". I'd never realised the difference between English R and the alveolar flick, so would say "Pero" with the R exactly a English. Just doing the flick has made it sound infinitely better! Still can't do the rolled R's, but the other thing you point out that many never do, is that it can take lots of practice. Every other person I've ever known try to teach me how to roll R's has always dismissed it as "You just do this, and this..there you go". As if it's something we can do instantly. Very interesting to hear that even Spanish children take a while to learn it. Anyway, already based on what you said here, I'm optimistic that even if I never manage a beautiful long trrrrrrrill, I can improve my R pronounciation in Spanish. Just needs practice!

I recently learned how to roll my Rs, but can only do it with a few words and not consistently. How do I improve this?

So now the English language is racist? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Dyna esboniad gwych, diolch

I could never do the rr as my speech wasn't that good when I was a child but I'm going to learn it. Thank you for the help

Thanks for the information… wondering why. did you choose the combination of voiced alveolar stop and tap to train your tongue to produce trilled r -- what is the importance of the voiced alveolar stop?

"pot of tea" normal then faster and faster. Eventually sounds like "para ti". Follow that up with "ruffle have ridges" and "red rich ranch". 3 weeks of hard work and I'm at about 5 good trills before my tongue cramps. lol

This method has gotten closer than any other method, I can do drrrrain, but still trying to do rrrrr. Won't give up! Thank you!

Hi just wondering if you have any trips on dropping the d sound. I can’t seem to initiate a trill without it. Thanks

A great insight into the underpinnings of this fundamental aspect of Cymraeg. Dw i wedi dysgu rhywbeth newydd am fy iaith heddiw- diolch!

'Bada bing, bada boom'- say it fast, you get /r/ imposing on each d. Excellent explanation- I have always been able to pronounce R, Rh (Cymro dw i), but I didn't realise these sounds caused such trouble. Fascinating insight. Diolch yn fawr iawn. I would add that the maintenance of the trill is by the relaxed tip of the tongue responding to the movement of air. After the initial 'd/r/' the air movement over the tongue is what maintains the trill, not conscious movement of tongue muscles! The force of air required is possibly a bit stronger than people might expect- you can vary it, but below a certain rate, the trill won't sustain more than 'd/r/'- which often sufficient in informal settings.

This is great! Magical! Thank you

Damn super helpful!!! More videos, please!!

Hi, and thank you it took me to watch this whole video to learn, and I finally got it. For me, it was the way you explained it.

The best Russian trill video I've ever seen🎉🎉

Thanks chump

Excellent video.

All 3 of my English native children have always easily been able to do RSS. I'm also native English. Despite living in Madrid for a year and practice I can not yet. Still determined to win. Drain drain drain

Best video of video for helping with the rolled rs ty so much

Oh my goodness, I finally rolled an r for the first time!!!!!!! I have been trying for years! Thank you, gracias, grazie!!!!!!

As an American, I wouldn't say writer and rider are homophonous. Because of pre-fortis clipping, the vowel length becomes phonemic.

I’ve been studying Spanish for about a year and still can’t do the trilled R. I can do the trill after P, and I can do it all by itself, voiced or unvoiced, but I can’t quite do it at the start of a word or after a vowel. I’ve been practicing with “Prince of Prussia Prince of Prussia” and feel like I’m almost there. I’ll give “drain drain” a go. Great explanation, many thanks.

In the interests of grammatical correctness, I'd really appreciate if you could remove the possessive apostrophe from "R's" in the video title.

Wow, thank you so much! I've been having trouble getting my head around the soft mutations as so far, at least from the learning materials I have access to, it seems the only way to learn about this phenomenon is by rote. You've just completely blown that misconception away and I'm extremely grateful, it makes so much more sense now! Thank you again!

I am Welsh and can produce the Rh trill but not the R trill yet - but it's possible that I'm pronouncing it wrong; the vibrations happen slightly behind the tip of my tongue.

Sutmae. Hello professor. This lesson is absolutely amazing and very helpful. Thank you for sharing. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆

I've been completely stumped on translating a nickname I found in a Welsh article for my 2x great grandfather. I've found other names for him--Ehedydd Cynlais (bardic several places), and both "Tom o'r White" and "Tom o'r Lion". The new is "Twm Neti", which I can't find as a nickname for Tom, or any translation of it any of the sites I've looked on or either of my Welsh translators. I've found two words (so far) in this article which have mutation errors, so I've reviewed mutations yet none seem to make sense. Does mutation seem out of the question (which is my best guess), and have you ever come across these words, era roughly ~1870-1905. I realize this shouldn't apply, but @ 22:34 what was the G sound, when did it disappear and did it disappear in speech and language at the same time?

This video is in our Dysgu Cymraeg (intermediate) course :) Thank you, the (for me) most mysterious of all mutations (m changing to f) now finally makes sense to me!

I'm glad you doing this video
