Spanish Sounds

In Spanish, r sounds differently depending on where it is in a word. Meanwhile, rr has a rolled sound. Practice rr by placing the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth and exhaling forcefully across the surface of your tongue. As you do so, release the tip of your tongue so that it lightly flutters against the roof of your mouth.
