You can't trill a 't'. A 't' is a plosive, which means it is a one time sound. A trilled 't' is essentially a rolled 'r'. One in the same... it's an alveolar trill and it's perceived as a variation of R. |

I have not really studied any foreign language except for Italian ( i only got into the basics and questioned the usefulness of the language due to... well almost nothing being written in it.) But, i would like to learn 3 languages in my lifetime. Russian, German, and Chinese. Preferably Chinese as a second language because it is supposed to be very difficult. So, toady i was looking at the Russian alphabet. It was cool because as far as i saw it had no rolls of rs. I knew that it had trills of ts but i didn't think that would be a problem. when i went to pronounce the word мечтать (to dream) i ran into problems. so it was like Meych- and i was saying tat at the end. Well, i have no idea how to trill that. The only combo i can semi-trill is tr. So how the hell do i trill? Same thing goes for rolling my r. it always ends up sounding like i have something stuck in my throat and i am gargling. |

ok, thanks. maybe i can roll my Rs a little. i will keep working on it.i was making the sound from my throat, not my tongue. but arn't i supposed to make that last a kind of an ya but not much y. because it has the Ь at the end? i was watching a youtube video of it and he said you always add a little y on vowels unless it is hard. Just making sure because another person on youtube said i had trill ts. |

Not because it has the ь (soft sign). That only makes the consonant before it softer. Remember the difference between soft and hard vowels, though. |
