In the list below you will see the Spanish word for dog (perro). This is a potentially tricky pronunciation for English speakers, the double “r”.

Some people get the sound straight away and for others it takes a little more practice. Don’t worry you’ll get it and when you do, you will sound like a native Spanish speaker.
