I feel incredibly accomplished today as I finally learn to properly roll my Rs!!!!!!
YAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!! I deserve a pat on the back and maybe some chocolate. (completely ignore the fact that I didn't study for my exams at all today o.o)
It was so easy! It was one of those things that snapped, it just came suddenly, and I didn't successfully follow any online intructions or guides. They all said to do different things, so I guess it has to be a unique learning experience for each person. For me, I blew out hard while making a D sound. Other people say make K sounds or Sh sounds, but for me it was D. Now I can feel confident that if in future I want to learn: Spanish, Russian, Icelandic, Portuguese, Thai, or speak like a southlander, I can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
