Melinda...

Not everyone can trill their R's... in order for some peoplle to do it,
they have to get the skin cut that is under their tongue that kinda
connects it to their jaw/gums (does that make any coharent sense???)
that's all I can comment on the situation...

I'll ask this of Danielle or anyone else who has an answer:
What do you do if you can't roll your R's? Is there a way to be taught
the R-rolling technique?
