I can't pronounce my "r"s. :( What can I do? My teeth, both top and bottom need braces. Does that have anything to do with my speech impediment? Is that even a speech impediment? My R's sound like W's. I am taking Spanish and there are "rr"'s which is hell for me.
he couldnt even pronounce my name wich is amber
and what was funny about it to me is when he tryed to say fart he would say eww someone fowted
well my stepmom got him to practise! keep saying ART
or trying the beigging of ruff till you get it down! then move on to bgger words with R!
like once my brother got ART down he could say Fart!

If the problem isn't there, you may want to consider a speech therapist. If cost is an issue, many schools have speech therapists on staff to work with students. My sister had a lot of trouble with her "r"s as well when she was younger. My parents arranged for her to see the school speech therapist and now she has no problem with them.

meaghanek answered Saturday April 15 2006, 9:13 pm: I am not sure if your teeth are interfering, unless they are really bad. Maybe you could try focusing on a couple of words and really try practicing to get the r sound working. Start slowly and then it will become more natural.
