I can't do it, I can't trill my R. I'm attempting to learn Russian but I can't even say their alphabet.
The entire concept of it doesn't make sense to me, I don't get how you're supposed to blow the air, I don't get how you're supposed to keep the tongue in position but also keep it loose, I don't get how you keep air from escaping around your mouth, I don't get how you achieve it without doing it with your throat.
I've been practicing for 3 hours every night for nearly 2 weeks but it means absolutely nothing if I'm practicing wrong.
The fuck do I do?

Why the fuck would you learn shitty russkie? Also trilling R's is no big deal if your try blowing air onto your tongue long enough.
>>52103565
What's trilling your R's?
Like saying R at the front of the tongue?
>>52103742
Rolling your r.

The wife is shitty Russkie and I'd love to speak to her in native tongue.
You describe blowing the that's again what I don't quite get. It's supposed to be a chesty puff of air right? None of the throat involved, but that just comes out as a Huhhhhhh.

slav r

Some people have genetically different tongues. I'm not sure about trilling Rs but being able to put your tongue in a U shape isn't genetically possible for everyone.
>>52103760
Oh yeah, you guys say "ah" at the back of the mouth, right?
We roll our R's. Just hold the tongue against the spot behind your upper teeth, then let it vibrate
>>52103814
Put the tip of your tongue on your teeth and blow air onto it. At one point it will become a trilled R and you will sustain it,
>>52103830
I'm able to curl my tongue so I don't feel like I'm "genetically" unable to do it, just retarded in understanding the concept.
>>52103854
Yeah my 'r' is in the back of my throat.
>>52103913
You know how you say "really"?
Try to get that kind of r and vibrate your tongue more.
>>52104155
Ok i'll try. http://vocaroo.com/
This is how I say "really" though, and that vibration is all coming from my throat.
>>52104280
I'm a moron.

>>52104609

>>52103565

>>52104977
Oh so I curl my tongue?
>>52105130

>>52103565
>The fuck do I do?
Remember you're a fucking anglo and find your self respect.
>speaking another language
Disgusting
try to say "daddy" with an american accent, the way they pronounce the "dd" is similar to the way you roll your r.
