I know the tongue is supposed to be touching the top of the mouth near the front... and you apply air pressure to get it to flap, but somehow, I just can't seem to do it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Also, my tongue is shorter than average. Could this 'cripple' my rolled Rs?


edit: found a couple of threads about this a few pages back... but stlil if anyone has anything new to say id love to hear it. I've heard that some Russians and Spaniards can't roll their Rs but I've also heard that everyone is capable of learning to do it.
Spanish cars when you press gas pedal "say": Roooom, room, rooom.
