Document Summary
In spanish an r at the beginning of the word has a strong trill sound where you roll your tongue for a moment like you are imitating the sound of a car motor. If the r appears in the middle of the word or at the end the sound is weaker made by touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth for a brief moment. If the r appears as a pair of r"s it obtains the strong trill sound again such as in the word carro or perro . There is a vast difference between the pronunciation of the words pero and perro or caro and carro . All these words have very different meanings, so it is important to pronounce them correctly. Por la tarde in the afternoon; in the evening. Ba arse to shave to bathe: take a bath. Peinarse to get up to put on one"s makeup to comb one"s hair.
