Answer 1

In inuktitut can say 'r' rolling. it is 'krrahoo'

in the throat vibrates and blowing the mouth

inuktitut r can change 'q' and 'qq'

example:

Amaruq 'wolf' it is rolling

Amaqqut 'wolves' its rolling

ruq changed to qqut

Apirijuq 'to ask'

Apiqsijunga 'I asked'

r changed to 'q' for apiqsi from apiri

Answer 2

I give this advice I have given to others

--quote--

Don't reach for the roof of your mouth. Instead, try pressing the tip of your tongue to the back of your upper teeth, preferably at the gum line. As you breathe out, try to direct the airflow to the tip of your tongue. If you do this correctly your tongue should vibrate ("bounce") against your teeth, producing the typical rolling 'r' sound.

I offer this analogy: Think of blowing a raspberry. The sound you make is similar except that you're producing it at your lips. Now to roll your r's, you are essentially internalizing that same sound by producing it inside your mouth.

I hope this helps.

In Spanish and Italian the R is rolled

but not in German

Answer 4

You need to get your R's rolling:

Listen to a foreign language radio or an Internet radio station, and take note of the pronunciation. It's easier to pick up the proper technique if you're exposed to it.

Warm up your tongue so it can get used to some of the positions required for rolling "r"s. Try to fold your tongue in half, turn it upside down, flutter it, curl it up and down, and so on.

Relax your mouth and tongue, and slightly open your lips. Keep your mouth relaxed. If you purse your lips, your rolled R will come out too forceful.

Curl your tongue up very slightly just behind your top gums. Specifically the tip of your tongue should be loose and just below the roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate: the alveolar ridge. The part of your mouth that contains the tooth sockets is the right place to be.

Depending on the specific language, your tongue may be slightly touching your alveolar ridge, or not touching.

Tense your tongue, but leave the tip loose to vibrate. This sound is known as a trill because it is created with multiple vibrations.

Breathe out, allowing your tongue to vibrate with the passing air. This should produce somewhat of a "purring" sound.

The rolling "R" sound is just the flutter of a tongue with the passing air, not a special curl or a fold.

Some people find it easier to allow their tongue to vibrate against their mouth, while others prefer not to. Make sure that if you touch your teeth, do so lightly.

Try replacing the "r" with a "d" sound if your "r"s still aren't rolling. (For instance, the word "practice" would become "pdactice".) However, it won't sound right if you say the word slowly, or if the word begins with an "r".

Put your mouth in different positions and pronounce: [ri] (english sound: ree), [re] (es: ray), [ra] (es: rah), [ro] (es: row), [ru] (es: rew). Try to go through musical scales or a simple song singing "rrrrr."

Use a foreign language dictionary to practice words containing a rolled letter R.

Stick with it. If you're having a hard time, don't think it's because your mouth just wasn't built for it, unless you have any of the physical conditions described in the Warnings below. There is no genetic reason why a given person cannot roll their "r"s, rather it is a question of practice and developing tongue strength. So keep at it and eventually your "r"s will be perrrrrfect!

Answer 5

In german the "R" it is very similar to the french one but it depends on which part of the word you can find it (in the middle is like a G (like "g*y") but at the end is silent).

In spanish R is a strong one: you have to put your tongue up in the paladar an make it vibrate (not easy if you are not spanish).

In italian it is similar to spanish but not so strong.
