Help me pronounce single "r"?

Question

I've recently started studying Spanish (Latin American) with Rosetta Stone. I think I'm doing trilled *r*'s right but I'm not sure if I'm doing single *r*'s right. Are they supposed to have a single trill, or no trill? Please help me learn how to pronounce a single *r*.

Answer 1

The single r in Spanish is not trilled, but one or two trills might happen in the process. The single r is similar to the 'tt' in American English in words like 'better' or 'butter'.
