Tips for English speakers
- The single r is a quick tap, like the "tt" in American English "butter". Don't use an English r.
- The rr is rolled: the tip of the tongue flutters against the roof of the mouth.
- Keep every vowel short and pure: a = "ah", e = "eh", i = "ee", o = "oh", u = "oo". No gliding.
