I know for fact that most non natives have this problem. have you tried the "butter" method? say butter like an American speaker and the sound the "tt" make are close to the "rr"'s, as in the tongue position. actually, the "L" is more similar to the spanish "R" than the english "R". your tongue should be behind your teeth but not touching it. try to roll your R's without saying an actual word. just the RRRR sound. the start putting it into words. there's a cool tongue twister for this. "R con R guitarra, R con R barril, mira que rápido ruedan las ruedas del ferrocarril." here's me saying it if you need help: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0y9nSEI1q5FI really like how Spanish spelling and pronunciation is straightforward. I've never misspelled a Spanish word.
But I do have a problem-- I still can't pronounce the Spanish RR sound.
I just can't figure out how to do it.
I also like how there's more freedom in Spanish on how you can place the verbs and adjectives in different places.
This doesn't happen in English.
Thinking about it, English even has a set order for multiple adjectives.
For example, you can't say "Italian small green piano", you have to say "small green Italian piano" and everything else is supposed to be wrong.
Another thing is, although it's acceptable in American English to say "Me and my friends...", it's considered grammatically wrong in British English.
It should be "My friends and I".
yeah, it's what I like about Spanish, it's not so systematic, it's more fluid, and prettier
you can do that in Spanish as well! or even say pianito instead of piano chico
actually, it's not grammatically wrong in Spanish per se, it's just consiered to be plain rude tu put yourself before the others, so it's funny when people say "yo y mis amigos" instead of "mis amigos y yo". (besides the latter sounds better) theres a funny saying "el burro por delante para que no se espante" which means "the donkey goes first so it doesn't get scared" -- I don't know if people use donkey as a substitute for dumb / not intelligent in English too, but that's what it means
