  • you listen to it being said really a lot and you’ll get it eventually!

    one Spanish tip: the spanish ”j” (and ”g” when followed by ”i” or ”e”) is NOT NOT NOT like the ”h” in ”hause”, it is a distict sound ,that resembles in no way that English ”h” , and does NOT exist in English.
    it’s like the ”ch” in the German word ”bach”, it sounds as if you have a phlegm in your mouth and your about to spit it. English speakers write it as ”kh” (sometimes ”ch”)

    so plz don’t pronounce ”jose” like ”hose”, because it’s wrong.
    I think this sound is the one you should worry about not rolling your ”r”.

  • ARE:

    there is an easy exercise to learn the proper RR pronunciation- you must repeat the following words:
    atr la
    atr le
    atr li
    atr lo
    atr lu
    if you exercise everyday after a week your “rr” will be much better.

  • The best way to do it is find someone – preferably a native speaker – who (a) can do it and (b) has a lot of patience, and both watch and listen to the way they do it. Then do the same for the single “r” sound. That’s how I did it – everybody CAN do it, it’s just a questgion of practice.
