I teach high school Spanish in Oklahoma, USA. Does anyone know of a way to teach HOW to roll your tongue to make the double r sound, like in aburrido or perro? I've got some students who can't do it naturally. I've asked a speech-pathology friend of mine and she didn't know. It's not a sound in the English language per se, so I don't know what to do. I can do it myself but have no clue how to help my students.

Hi there everybody! My name is Paulo. I'm a Portuguese and English studant at Univerity and I wanna know how does Portuguese (Brazilian one) sounds to you... I'm really curious!

For us, Brazilian people, English seems to be common, and nobody thinks more of people they listen speaking English than they must be important, because English is everywhere here, plurality of songs at the radios here are in English, although no one understands a word...

Your R sound is uncofortable to us, like in the word WORLD, and GIRL... it is pathetic!

Our R's are like in Home (the H sound), house, etc... of the sound of the "at all" when you say it fastly in the end of breaf sentences... -the mix of the -t sound with the -a.... kinda --a(r)all... you got it?

That's it!!! Also say what you listen about my country!!! Hehehe!

Can you think of examples of how our language is alive and constantly evolving? For example, do you use certain words or gestures that only your family or closest circle of friends would understand? what are they?

I am an American living in Mexico and teaching English to Mexicans in my pueblo. My charge is very low. I stated out with 11 students and little by little they started not coming to class. I teach 3 days a week with 3 hour sessions. The students have been learning very well and seem to really enjoy the class. We play games, have videos, sing songs, as well as learning basic English and conversation. My students range in age from 11 to 18. But, every now and then, someone will just quit coming. I am down down to 3 students. I have been doing this since September 21. My students are learning very rapidly and I feel I am successful. But, can't understand why they don't stick with it. I have talked to other American English teachers here and they had the same experience. Does anyone know from experience or otherwise what the problem is? I charge only 100 pesos ($10.00) per week per person, so my fee is very reasonable. If anyone has any suggestions, I welcome them. I am about to give up.

From what you know, what do you think the most spoken language is? I'm taking a poll, and please don't go searching on the site or looking at other people's answer. Just type in a simple language, and you will get +2 points. I'll pick the 10 points to the one who adds why, no matter how wrong they are!

to show why the English language is hard to learn. Here is a sentence I created. It doesn't make sense, but it illustrates the oddities of the English language;

"For the picnic, the bee had to be sure to have two pairs of pears too."

It is no wonder why people from other countries have problems learning the English language. Is this a good illustration to the problems of learning English?

A gorilla. A book. A tornado. A closet. A house. If it begins with a consanant, it is "a" [whatever].
An eagle. An apple. An igloo. An oboe. If it begins with a vowel, it is "an" [whatever].
So why is hour, which clearly begins with an H, which is clearly NOT a vowel, start out with "an"?
And note: I failed freshman english and have continued that low grade streak for over four years so I aint two gud wit it. You have permission to mock me as long as you use the word 'turkey.'
