Does Rhotacism, the inability to pronounce "R", have a cure?

I have a friend who is having the challenge and wish to have it corrected if possible because it is somehow embarrassing while speaking in the public sometimes.

Does anyone know if there is a way to correct this?

OP just speak the truth for once, you're the one with the problem but I don't think it have a cure.
Just put your mind off it and be bold while pronouncing the words with "r".




Lesson learnt. I don't know that's what the problem is called.

Wait a minute...

You mean you are among those who go to "eat lice in lestualants"?

Thank me later..

You call it "wice" and you think it's not bad?

Well, I think it's worst.

Dear op.... I have this problem too.i used to be bothered when I was younger...but now,i flow with it. it makes me feel unique.

There's no problem that doesn't have a solution. All you need when it comes to pronunciations is practice. The root problem here is your mother tongue, and constant practice helps in eliminating it.

Easy way, look up the words you have difficulty in pronouncing on your dictionary, write down the sounds and look up on some words with such sounds. As you study them, you'll know better. What I do at times when I look up words, I play the pronunciation on Google and pronounce along. The latter will help you a lot.

I find it sorta cute when not to pronounced.

I ate guys in a guestuagance

Wow....I learnt a new word today...RHOTACISM.

I don't the cure for it but there should be remedies.

Goodluck to your friend in the quest of finding cure to his 'R' factor.

Maybe u can ask your friend to get a dictionary.. and start practising those words daily.. by pronouncing it... or a speech therapist

Or he can develop a thick skin as if it doesn't affect him... I don't even see this as a problem considering the fact that Some state in US got the same "problem " ever heard of Texas Drawl

Thanks sir, this is enlightening

It has no cure. If you can't roll your tongue you can't pronounce "r".

I have it and I don't want it corrected. It makes me feel special.
