In Chinese there is no Alveolar Trill (namely the pronunciation of RR in Spanish).
I learned Spanish in my university. Some of my classmates can pronounce the RR easily but others cannot. They have to practice hard to be able to pronounce correctly the RR. Some people practice it with chopsticks, others with toothbrush or water in their mouth. I even heard my roommate practicing RR in his dream.
The students who study Russian and Italian faced the same problem, it's quite interesting to see people who learn different foreign languages practice the same consonant hard together.
The professors of Finnish language once "threatened" (when kidding) his students that anyone who are not able to pronounce RR would be dropped out and would have to change their major.
But people who, despite of really hard practice, cannot make it, have nothing to do than to give up, saying "Well, even Lenin could not pronounce it", without really know whether Lenin could pronounce it or not.
Any suggestions about learning this consonant?
