What kind of accent do you have?

@helenS show off ! 😉

@helenS Sounds more Scottish rolling your R's.....they do that at the bottom of the South Island in NZ.

@helenS you'd be good at speaking Welsh..rolling 'r's essential

@KiwiBird I was in Japan several times (business-related), and my Japanese friends told me they really encounter difficulties to distinguish the American-style "L" and "R", like in those old-school stereotypical (and maybe a bit racist) jokes ("stupid Amelicans"). It's because their own "R" is sort of between the English "R" and "L", and the American "R" is formed basically at the sides of the tongue, similar to the L.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales In American movies, the "rrrolled" R is typically associated with Russian spies. 😏

@helenS ???? Hispanic cultures routinely roll their R as part of the proper enunciation of their language, and I have noticed Germanic languages do also. But I havent heard a Russian do it yet...like there are a lot of Russians in Texas. 😉

@TexChik Russians spies in Texas took an English pronunciation course 😏

@helenS They dont like cactus...not too many of those guys around here. 🤣
