Karen,
I'll have to give this all a try. I've never been able to roll an 'r'.
I can roll a mean 'g' - which is to say, that it's at the back of the
throat and the back of my tongue is what rolls. Don't know where I
learned this, I had always thought it was a rolled 'r' until someone
watched me do it and noted that a rolled 'r' happens at the front, not
the back as mine does.
I've also discovered that several other members of my family roll their
'r's the same way. I wonder if it's an inherited technique or
something?
Interestingly, I can do a lip trill great!
Anyway, don't know that I have to patience to try what you've suggested,
but I'll sure try it! Thanks!
Laura
