How To Pronounce The Spanish Double R

  • Practice the double-R by placing your tongue where you pronounce a single R and blowing air so the tip vibrates.
  • Repeat words like 'carro' and 'perro' and use tongue-twisters to build the trill.
ADVICE

Use A Tongue-Twister For Trills

  • Use the classic tongue-twister 'Erre con erre cigarro...' to practice rolling Rs in connected speech.
  • Repeat full lines like 'Rapido corren los carros' to train rhythm and trill together.
ADVICE

How To Ask To Hire A Car

  • Say 'Quisiera alquilar un coche/car/o auto' to request a hire politely.
