When I was younger I was in speech therapy for many years. I could pronounce the R sound in my words. I would say wok n wo instead of rock n roll. I finally grow out of this later on in middle school, but I do think it has to do with my rolling rs dilemma. I have read that if you are not taught to roll your rs as a child then it is extremely difficult to do this as a adult.
Maybe in the future I can finally roll my rs. Do you have any alveolar trill advice?
I never thought about rolling my R's. I guess because I don't say anything that I need to. But like everyone some sounds and letters are harder then others to say. Maybe just practicing some tongue twisters like these might help. http://www.twisterking.com/r.php
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do it also.
ReplyDeleteI had to take speech therapy in school to, but my problem was with "s". See Sally on the Seashore picking up Seashells...glad you grew out of it.
