Having a foreign accent when speaking Spanish is nothing to be ashamed of. Often times it gives a certain prestige to the speaker - though I must admit this does not apply to all accents (sorry, English speakers). Still, we have to be aware that there are some occasions in which the entire meaning of a message can get lost if a single sound is mispronounced. As one of the most problematic sounds for Spanish students is the R sound, we decided to write a short guide to help you master it.
