This is the first video (out of hundreds) I have seen that provides a reference point to speakers of non-American English ! I was able to roll my r successfully after repeating a couple of times « let it go » 😊 Thank you !! 🙏
I´ve noticed that at times, Gallegos will truly apply a rolled r at the final ´r´ of verbs and such. I never, from day one, had a problem with the thrilled r however, it´s taken me two years to finally get the clipped r, the Scottish r, the single r sound correctly. I wasn´t hearing it correctly as it turns out. Also, being a child growing up in the Spanish educational system, the word syllabication was pounded into the heads of the students. I'm envious. The rules of syllabication are the very KEYSPANISH to getting the accent perfect. Angloparlantes tend to repeat things, like Per-ro for Pe-ro. He fight to leave the syllable «open». I still have issues and have to refer to the dictionary for exact word division. Once you have that, you have the rhythm. I love your channel because these valuable gems were taught to you as a child and you have perfected them as a master teacher. I hear some Angloparlantes who have achieved fluency and I think, «Wow! You don't realize how AWFUL your pronunciation is» You should take a class from KeySpanish!
Exactly, many people trill their R's at the end of words. I appreciate your perspective on pronunciation, I know it's something essential for you and you have a very refined ear.
This is extremely difficult for me and it's something I find extremely boring to practise. I speak Spanish every day and would say that my spoken Spanish is B2+, but my inability to trill the r (I'm ok with the simple r) is a source of major frustration! I've now probably watched over a hundred UA-cam videos on the subject. I think I need to find a speech therapist for one-on-one sessions. If anyone is aware of a good speech therapist who specialises in the trilled r, please let me know!
Sorry to hear you're frustrated about the trilled R sound. You can check this channel: ua-cam.com/channels/Re3_JuhUfyjkQ4GTO7XXkQ.html Alexandra is a specialist in pronunciation and she might be able to help you.
Are there any native Spanish speakers who can't roll their R's? I've met several people who insist they can't. One of them is even a native French speaker. She just makes the sound in her throat.
In russian language r is flexing too, and too not all native can pronounce it. But it is problem only in their head. Even speech therapist exists at least a hundred years special to help, all you need is desire. I myself went to such a doctor when I was a child and there was no internet for knowledge. Now you can get info just take smartphone😂. I knowing russian can pronounce and Spanish r and French r by default never practiced it.

Yes, indeed! I think it's called 'rotacismo'.
