Does learning how to roll your R's happen spontaneously? I wanna have a
conversation with you about that. My name is Franklin, and this is
First1000Hours.com. Don't give up on your language learning marathon! You can make
it through your first thousand hours! Now before we get into the topic today, I do want to
thank some people that already commented on my rolling R's story YouTube video,
and the first person I want to highlight is Yazmeana. I am sorry. I don't know
how to pronounce your name, but this is what you said: You said, "You have a very
confident voice, and i actually really like this podcast." So i liked reading
that comment, and i wanna thank you for that. I do want to tell you that I am not
only going to talk about victory on First1000Hours.com, but I'm going
to talk about my struggles. I'm going to try to keep this raw and real, and I
believe there's things that you can learn from on both sides: on the victory
side as well as the struggle side because it's important to know both. And
this language learning journey is a process, so I think people need to know
both of those sides. I also want to read HairCandy Kina's comment. She said,
"Congratulations on your progress! I'm excited for you." And I thank you so much
for that. I wanna say that I'm excited for you as well because you've come to
listen to things on First1000Hours, and to me that's a victory because
the first thousand hour journey is so long that we have to celebrate our
little victories. And I believe that your little victory was in listening to the
podcast because this is a language learning motivational podcast,
and the more you can listen to things that are going to encourage you in your
Spanish journey, then the more it helps you to stay motivated. And I think that
many doors are going to open for you just because you have wanted to learn
Spanish. And you're pursuing Spanish as well. And then also phopkins who said,
"Well done." Thank you again for your comment as well.
Void Wanderer, I also want to thank you for leaving a comment as well on my Youtube
video of my rolling R's story, and basically your comment is one of the
reasons why I wanted to do this YouTube video because I think it's going to be
helpful for those who are still learning how to roll your R's. It's awesome that
you already know how to roll your R's, and I know how to roll my R's as well,
but I just want to read the comment that got my mind spinning a little bit. You
said this: "I accidentally learned how to roll my R's by doing a semi-Scottish
sounding accent instead of how I normally sound." And so when I looked at
that comment I was thinking not only as Franklin Morris II, but I was
also thinking as someone who didn't know how to roll their R's. And they might be
putting a lot of effort in going to a lot of different YouTube videos and
trying to figure out how do I roll my R's? What's the right technique? What am
i doing wrong? And then they might see a comment like this where someone just
accidentally learns how to roll their R's, and they they're doing it without
any effort, without anything else, but I was wondering was there something more
to the story of Void Wanderer, so I engaged in a conversation with Void Wanderer, and I
just want to read our comments that we had. So I said this: I said, "Awesome!" And I
think that is awesome really because rolling your R's is a important
thing to do in Spanish and other languages, so I said, "Awesome! Did you even
want to learn how to roll your R's at that time? if yes, how long did it take
you from the point of wanting to roll your R's to actually rolling them?" Void
Wanderer said this: "First1000Hours, not really, but I did know that rolling
your R's was important for some Spanish words, but surprisingly not that long
really." Then I said this: "Did you listen a lot to Scottish material previous to you
rolling your R's?" And I said that as well because I don't remember
myself listening to that much Scottish material, so I thought that was unique at
least in the United States for someone to listen to Scottish material. I don't
know, maybe Void Wanderer is in Scotland, I don't know, but I thought that was
interesting for that comment to be made. And so then
I also said this: "This is my unscientific theory about rolling R's: the longer
people are passively and actively exposed to a language, the greater their
possibility that they will be able to roll their R's. As many YouTube videos
attest, focusing on technique has helped people, but then there are people like
you and I who begin to roll our R's spontaneously. Babies
also start speaking 'spontaneously'-- some sooner than others-- but in actuality
they had a lot of exposure to their mother tongue before they spoke
something that was distinguishable. And they had a lot of babbling, mistakes,
previous to that time as well. Now I literally never rolled my R's before I
started becoming serious about reading and listening to things in Spanish as a
habit instead of a random activity. Before that, the closest I came was when
I tried to say 'tres' or 'three', but I never could hold it, so it wasn't a trill.
So exposure to the language mattered to me over technique for rolling my R's."
Talking about technique, if you want to see a video focusing on the technique of
how you roll your R's, you need to look at a video from the Real Russian YouTube
channel. Void Wanderer said this to me: "First1000Hours, the only thing that
I've listened to that is extremely similar to Scottish is the people I know
with very heavy Irish accents. And the amount of people I know with Irish
accents is kind of big, which probably playing a part in it." And then I said,
"Okay that makes sense to me then." So was it an accident in how Void
Wanderer learned about rolling the R's? I personally don't think so, and there's
a principle that I wanna talk about from Matthew 12 and verse 34. It says out
of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks,
and then the Bible says in Proverbs 23 and verse 7 that the mind is
synonymous with the word heart. So really that's a language learning principle, I
believe, where when we fill our minds with the language, then it comes out. So
as a lot of times I think we we first focus on speaking, and then we get
discouraged. If we're exposed to the language --this is my theory, then it's
easier to actually speak the language. And I mean when I say exposed, I'm
talking about reading and listening to native materials in your target language.
But that's my opinion, and I want to find out what is your opinion is, so I have
questions that I hope that the First1000Hour community will answer. So this
is the first question: If you don't know how to roll your R's, about how many
hours have you listened to Spanish or a similar language? And when I say similar
language, I'm talking about a language where you need to roll your R's.
This is a question for everyone: what is more important in learning how to roll
your R's: learning a specific technique or the amount of hours spent listening
to Spanish or a similar language? I'm looking forward for you filling out the
polls and also leaving some comments. And I'm looking forward to having a conversation
with you that's past this video. My name is Franklin, and this is
First1000Hours.com. Don't give up on your language learning marathon! You can make
it through your first thousand hours!
