I wonder if it's a necessary part of the language or just an exaggerated accent.
Apparently, it is necessary.
Quote:Yes, it does... It is important to be able to correctly pronounce words in any language-- rolling the r's is one of those correct pronunciations.... Sometimes, the rolling of the r's can differentiate words such as:
pero (but) and perro (dog)
buro (chalk) and burro (donkey)
maron (sturgeon[type of fish]) and marrón (brown)
careta (mask) and carreta (cart/wagon)
caro (expensive) and carro (car)
coro (chourus) and corro (ring/circle)
ahora (now) and ahorra [form of verb ahorrar] (she saves)
garo (type of lobster) and garro [form of garrar] (I drag)
bario (barium) and barrio (neighborhood)
