I used to be able to roll an R but I was out of practice. I’ve been using Duolingo learning Ukrainian. My rolling is better, but I’ll never be as good as Javi.

Find some musical videos in Spanish (from Spain,south and central American Spanish sounds different),sing along and you will be a master of rolling your tongue for those R's.

I grew up in Ohio and live in Missouri. What's a rolling R?

Basically got 2 different rolling R sounds,soft and rolling.

Soft would be like with the word Caramelo (candy),in that case is just like a small tap with your tongue to the inner top cavity of your mouth.

Rolling R is basically the same thing but it's like vibrating multiple times the tongue on the inner top cavity of your mouth.

Take the word Perro (dog) for example,it has a double R which means that if you don't roll that R multiple times it will sound like Pero (Conjuction for But/only or But as noun)

Will pm paypal details so you can forward me the 20 bucks for the explanation.

cheers

What the heck Javi??? Now you are going to charge us!!!

At 20€ per person... it will take you until you are 90 something to buy the Mercedes Benz camper van that you want. :pervy:

It’s home to van life couple Kate and Levi. Their story: The Coolest 4x4 Sprinter Van Camper We've Found

At 20€ per person I think you're only going to find a fixer upper. :D

Meanwhile... I went and found a Spanish girl, Mirari, to teach me this mystical art of the rolling 'r'... for free. :D

I hate you so much and on so many levels at this moment...
It's like you have a folder named ''ways to annoy Javi'' filled with 4x4 Sprinter Van Camper pics because each time you post a different pic.

To quote Khan from Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan played by the late Ricardo Montalban:

"He Tasks Me. He Tasks Me, And I Shall Have Him! I'll Chase Him 'Round The Moons Of Nibia, And 'Round The Antares Maelstrom, And 'Round Perdition's Flames Before I Give Him Up!"

You better hope i don't win the lotto,if i ever do i will buy the Sprinter and park it right outside in your front door,cook all sorts of Spanish delicacies with a ton of garlic and play guitar while singing flamenco.

P.S: Can't play guitar nor can i sing flamenco ;)

    Morning shinies ;)

    Take the word Perro (dog) for example,it has a double R which means that if you don't roll that R multiple times it will sound like Pero (Conjuction for But/only or But as noun)

    My Argentinian work mate gave me that example too. But only so I could pronounce Perra correctly :sneaky:

    Howdy shiny people. I got the new Freemax solo 100 for review. It’s a pretty neat mod. The light up function is a bit much for me so I turned it off. I also got the Digiflavor XP 77. It lights up the logo on each side. I’ve never been big on light up mods.

    I ordered more cotton and finally ordered my 1.9x to 8.3x geek goggles.

    Also did a flavours restock order. I got 2 new ones - SSA Raspberry syrup and SSA Milky caramel fudge.

    I'm hoping the caramel will be an improvement over FW Salted caramel and FA Caramello. I seem to reach a saturation point where my current fave caramel, starts tasting too weak or a funky note turns up.

    The raspberry syrup is good but not as sweet as you’d think with the word syrup in the name. Their natural raspberry is good too. I don’t have the caramel fudge so am curious to hear what you think.

    What I saw on the flavour notes was that the ssa raspberry syrup is similar to INW Malina and their Shisha raspberry - but in one bottle. Those two in combo are my favourite raspberries.

    I like the Malina a lot but don’t know if I’ve combined those two.

    You'll want to pair the ssa fudge with another caramel or brown sugar. The texture and taste are lovely but not particularly caramely. Maybe try ssa at 2 and fa at 1 for a starting point. If you can get nf, nature's flavors, brown sugar it is a great boost for caramel. Their flavors are a bit pricey but all you need is 0.3-0.5 for the boost.

    Malina is so strong for me I just add a drop or two if I don't get whatever raspberry I use isn't strong enough. I like pairing ssa syrup at 1-1.5 with ssa natural at 0.5-0.7. Just mixed up a couple raspberry centric juices pairing mf raspberry wild and ssa raspberry syrup, waiting for the long steep time is frustrating though. They are supposed to be a great pairing.
