No problem, I'm glad there's activity here

Yeah, but the Polish ones are especially juicy, the rollong R is the thing as well as the multitude of context and nuance But I'm biased

I am so envious of people who can roll their Rs... It sounds so so so cool *___*

I feel like Chinese swears are a lot more crass-sounding, so they're more impactful? But I also cringe at them more

All swear words can be crass I guess
Yeah, rolling the R adds that spice

i love rolling my Rs. my mom can't do it but my sister and I can. xD

Mem: yeah but sometimes you can't avoid rap when its being played on the radio. like, when i'm in the car and they're listening to the radio and then a song comes on with rock and rap and whatever, i just cringe. xD;; its why almost the moment i get in the car, i plug my earbuds into my itouch and listen to my music. xD

Whoa mem your new avi is so gorgeous!!! *_____*


I tried learning to roll my Rs when I took a phonetics class in uni. The result... was an utter fail QAQ I basically end up sounding like I'm choking

Yeah my mom can’t roll her tongue either. XD but she can whistle and curl her tongue but just….not roll her Rs lol. XD

@Hot: Ah, see, that's why I don't listen to the radio and use Tidal instead

@Natsuyuki: Thank you! It was a struggle, haha.


Uuugh, I can't whistle for shit... DX I wish I could. I can only whistle backwards, like sucking the air in and somehow that's a whistle, lol. I can move my eyebrows separately, that's my trick XD
Ash is trying to learn, he keeps whistling around the house and he's getting good at it.

I think I've heard before that rolling your tongue and rolling your R are both traits you're born with and can't learn later in life? I'm not sure how accurate that is though /D

I can whistle..... A little.... When I get lucky..... XD my biggest achievement was being able to whistle the clock chime tune

Learning to whistle must be hard to listen to I imagine. Before you get good you sound like a balloon leaking air XD

iunno, do you really have a choice if you're in the car and you're not the driver? xD usually the only people who fiddle with the radio in the car is my dad or my sister. xD;;

is that right? XD dunno if the rolling the tongue thing is something you're born with but given my mom can't roll her Rs and i can.......xD;; my italian bosses are actually like "you're sounding more and more italian every day!" and i'm like "well that's probably cuz i can roll my Rs......8U"

my sister sometimes whistles the national anthem. dunno why lol. but she can whistle just like my mom can. although my mom likes to whistle more like a bird lol.
