Learned how to roll R's today rrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrr

Never been able to do this before and I'm pretty stoked, so I thought I'd share for anybody else who has been super jelly of other people making sexy tiger noises. Literally only took 5 minutes to figure it out thanks to this awesome video. The lying on your back at first thing is totally legit.

next: that thing where people stick their fingers in their mouth and whistle really loud

I spent the first 40 years of my life thinking I couldn't do it but with a lot of practice I can now do it effortlessly so for the vast majority of people that think they can't, just try harder

Arabic has some hard sounds too if you want another sound challenge.

Learned Hebrew as a young'un so I'm pretty good on those. Maybe I'll try out one of those clicking languages.

Nice!

I somehow convinced myself I couldn't do it in 6th grade Spanish class..
2 weeks ago I was rolling R's (very roughly...) in tune to some music in the car. I never knew that I totally knew how to do that! Now the question is... how long have i been doing that for?

Awesome, just finished watching it and tried it out for about 10 minutes and have already gotten it a few times (not consistently). Before this I never have been able to even get close.

I tried learning arabic a few years ago which I struggled with several of the sounds. I have had some practice with the "Kha" sound which helped with this video's method.

Thanks for sharing!

It took me quite awhile to figure it out but I just kept reminding myself that if something like 600 million other people can do it so can I. My Spanish still sucks though:(

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
