I am extremely frustrated with the single ‘r’ sound in Spanish. I can do every other sound in the Spanish language, including the trilled r, I just cannot get the single ‘r’ sound for some reason. I would really appreciate it if a native Spanish speaker could help me with pronunciation.
(I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post it on).
You may not be as bad as you think. Why not post a recording on the exchange and get some comments? My advice for what it is worth - if you can do the trilled “r”, i.e. the double "r’ or “r” at the beginning of a word, just take your foot off the gas pedal a little for the single “r” .
Have you ever tried making a very quick English “d” sound? Open your mouth a bit more for the preceding vowel than you would in English (but you are doing this anyway to get good Spanish vowel sounds). (I am not a native speaker, BTW.)
