The welsh r

Shwmae!
I’ve not had any trouble with Welsh pronunciation so far - apart from the rolled r.
I can do a single flap like in Spanish (“pero”), but I can’t do a trill. Is this enough to speak comprehensible Welsh?

Diolch!

Yes.

Thank you!
This forum is great :smile:

If you can do ‘pero’, then that’s basically the same sound - off the top of my head, I can’t think of any words that would be incomprehensible without a longer ‘r’ sound, and there are Welsh speakers who can’t say the ‘r’ at all, so every which way you cut it you’ll be fine… :sunny:
