Suspect, en español, no es "suspecho" sino "sospechoso".

And yes, you're right, you can say "la sospechosa" for a female suspect. :)

Sospechosa reminds me of a joke...  if you break that word up in the right place!  :P

]]> <![CDATA[By: ]]> May be I got it wrong, but JP kind of implies that the 'rr' would come naturally as time goes by. My personal experience does not agree with this though.

I didn't care about the 'rr' for years, and I could never make the sound. Until recently, I was determined to work on it. After only 3 days, I was able to make the sound in the 'correct way'. Now, I am getting better making it within a word and even a sentence.

My suggestion is to at least make every effort to produce the correct 'rr' sound in isolation. Then take your time to incorporate it into a word or a sentence.

Great episode. I love it. Gracias.

]]> <![CDATA[By: ]]> I would like to repeat something which the Spanishpod team said in the Pa’ Que Sepas in which they spoke of the rr.  It is critical to remember that you are rolling the Spanish r and an English one.  When pronouncing an English r the tongue is fairly low in the mouth.  When pronouncing the Spanish r the tip of the tongue is all the way up on the roof of the mouth.  This make it very was to trill it by blowing a little air over it.
