I understand the use of recorrer in each of the examples. (Yay!!) I wonder if there are certain instances where viajar is preferable vs. other times when recorrer is preferable when one is talking about "to travel"?

I think that "Viajar" without a doubt, implies "recorrer" a road, but the specific use of "recorrer" focuses on the road, while "viajar" is just going from one place to another.

OH! That makes sense. Is it related to "correr"?

There are a thousand meanings of "correr" and I cannot tell at first if they're related in current meanings (ethymology is something else), but the usual one is "to run"... "recorrer" sometimes can be "to run along".

Makes sense to me. If nothing else, it will help me remember the nuances.

Hola he tenido un poco de confusión sobre el sonido del RR
¿Cómo se pronuncia esa frase "He recorrido" Eh RRec-coRR-id-o No tengo unos problemas mientras pronunciando el RR, pero ¿se debería pronunciar ambos los RR? Pienso que el primer RR debería pronunciado más suave (soft) Quizás alguien puede poner una carpeta de audio en el foro para que yo (¿es necesario para escribir yo aquí?) pueda escucharlo PD ¿Cómo se llaman el RR(rolling R, double R, ect.) en español? Ya ha recorrido el mundo entero, pero no encontró el lago escondido que dicen poder darte la vida eternal

@Bob: strong "r" sound is called "doble erre".
This "rr" is pronounced at the beginning of a word or a syllable: ra·tón [rratón] En·ri·que [enrrique] al·re·de·dor [alrrededor] So "he recorrido" is correct as [eh rrecorrido] As for "para que yo pueda escucharlo", the "yo" emphasis is better, so there is no room for confusion with "alguien". But you should rather say "un archivo de sonido". Archivo = file Carpeta = folder Quote:

Hmmm... I tend to feel it's soft "r", but I would prefer someone else to tell his/her opinion/knowledge on it...
