Tara's (to give proper credit ) insight on pronouncing the "rr" deserves its own thread!!!

As someone (when not rushed or flustered - heh heh) who can pronounce most Spanish sounds (nevermind the unavoidable trace of gringo accent ) correctly, the "rr" is a source of CONSTANT frustration.

Tara's suggestion of "pot of tea" ... "para ti" ... to at least mask a glaring error was priceless!!! Please, please, please, anyone and everyone offer their suggestions here.

There must be many success stories out there as it's no secrect this is problem many of us face...

Thanks!
