Spanish Pronunciation
Letter rr
A lot of people worry excessively because they cannot make the trilled sound associated with the Spanish "rr." If you are one of these people, you need to lighten up!
If you stick with it, eventually you will probably be able to make the trilled sound. But even if you never "get it," it only means that you'll have a bit of a foreign accent.
Listen to these words and try to repeat them exactly. Note that words that begin with the letter "r" also get the trilled sound.

You'll know you have it mastered when you can do this:

R con R barril
