if so I'm curious how you did it... I can tell them what must be done with the tongue to form the sound... but I know from experience Asians have an extremely difficult time with this letter/sound.
(though I remember dealing with Korean girls working for JPM Morgan when trading the KOSPI that had no issues at all. They probably studied at least part time in the US) |

| Plenty of Asian languages have both the R and the KW sounds. |

all I know is that when I was in Caracas, there were kids of local Chinese in our Spanish classes (offered to English teachers and anyone else, there some diplomats, always lots of chinese)
in Spanish they not only have the regular r.. but the rolling r (rr) and strong r.. (when a word begins with an r followed by a vowel)
it was hopeless.
With the Chinese, anyways.
I think Thai people have issues with it as well. |
