Different kinds of rolled R's

by Daniel Hanson

May 28, 2017

Hello, everyone.

A week ago I was looking at several YouTube videos on presenting the names of the colors in Spanish. It seemed like some of the videos did not roll their R's for the color "rojo". Come to find out, my ears are not hearing the quick, short rolled R (I guess). Are there different alofonos for the rolled R? Are their cases of "asimilacion" or neutralization when the rolled R precedes certain consonants? Now I'm wondering if I overemphasize the rolled R in my speech since I am having a hard time perceiving these fast, brief rolled R's in fluid speech.

Here I can clearly hear the rolled R when the speaker (from Barcelona, Spain, works as a Spanish teacher in Italy) says "El color rojo". However, (and I know he rolls it—natives can clearly hear the rolled R in the sentence) I can't pick up on the short rolled R in the example sentence "Los tomates son rojos". Maybe because he rolls it faster than my ears can catch it or doesn't roll it very long.
