Kate is spending one more day relaxing on vacation

Untitled 5 months ago

I actually learned how to roll my rrrrs by making fun of my wonderfully charismatic kitty, Aurora. She would run up to me and rub against me purr-meowing (if you have a kitty, you know what I mean). I always imitate her and meow back at her and talk to her. I would always try to purr at her, too. One day I tried to meow purr at her, and my tongue flapped just a little. I was so excited that I tried it again, and now I can roll my tongue! I found that it was easier to learn when making a straight noise, not while talking or making no noise. This was after 6 years of spanish classes and 15 years of flute lessons (where one technique of playing includes flutter-tongueing, or rolling an rrr while playing). I can’t really explain the mechanism any better than I’ve been taught (you know, put your tongue lightly to the roof of your mouth and sort of blow), but once you get it, you understand and have insight and can do it again. I learned it’s worth it to practice, because I got it even though I thought I was a lost cause.

Happy Phantom asks, “Is this actually possible? Can someone please tell me if there is a www source or something that can get me started on this? I can FLIP my R's, but rolling is just not happening.”
