What kind of sound would you suggest adopting?
BTW, I have always wondered if anyone out there appreciates an American accent. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that they do. Also, how often is coche actually used? I used to use it instead of carro just to avoid the RR, but I had a native speaker once basically tell me that the word is rarely actually used in conversation. |
Coche is used all the time in Spain. In Latin America, use carro.

Anybody pointed out that trilling R is difficult enough to defeat a certain percentage of native speakers? It isn't all about accent.
|
The r in Spanish is produced without the incorporation of the alveolar ridge. The r should always be in the front of the mouth. It doesn't necessarily roll, and in many cases, is more like a flap. A truly rolled r is regional, and can be heard in
Barranquilla as well a other places. By the way, rolled r's are frequently used in Great Britain. |

Thanks! What a beautiful voice, and the English dialect sounds unique to me.

Some regional accents pronounce "r" sounds differently. For example, in Puerto Rico and some places in the Caribbean, many speakers tend to pronounce "l" instead of "r" [Puelto Lico, señol...].
Some Chileans and other South Americans pronounce it more like the American "r". But most speakers tend to use "r" and "rr" in a mostly standard way. :) I wouldn't say it's a matter of difficulty; it's probably more about the influence of local indigenous languages. Quote:
