Aren't all R's rolling, though? Some longer and some shorter. I.e. rr and r. Guess I get it, though. Words starting with a single 'r' are pronounced like 'rr'. Interesting on the 'll' and 'ch' bits, too. Wasn't aware ¡Gracias, RAE!

No, single r is tapped not rolled. It's similar but still a different sound

Oh, okay. Sounds similar. Sounds like rolling, but just once. Rolling if you turn off the looping option. I am not a linguist, though, so I don't know the intricacies of sounds

Yes, I think that sums up the difference quite well. If you want to dive into it: this is the single r and this is rr
