Hey Uri,

The University of Iowa phonetics website (
http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/#) might have what he is looking
for.  The Spanish [r] is, I believe, identical to the Arabic one.

Regarding Uri's interest in a video about rolling the /r/ :

Many American students of Arabic struggle to master the raa', the 'ayn, the
ghayn, the qaaf, the *h*aa', the khaa', etc.  Their instructors are not
necessarily the most qualified people to teach them... regardless of
whether the instructor is a native speaker or not.  Professional speech
therapists, on the other hand, are uniquely qualified to help people with
their pronunciation problems.  This is their field of expertise.  Bringing
an Arab speech therapist into the Arabic-101 classroom for a few hours
would be a wise investment at the start of the semester.

The expert would train the strugglers to master the "exotic" sounds of
Arabic, from the vantage point of articulatory physiology.  And as the old
proverb says, "Well begun is half-done."  Give the students the right start
and they will take such pride in their ability to produce those cool Arabic
phonemes, it might even inspire them to stick with the language... thus
reducing attrition in our Arabic programs... and keeping us -- the teachers
-- employed!

Cheers,
Abu Sammy

Dear Uri,
There are a plenty of YouTubes concerning the pronunciation of raa’
especially in reading the Qur’an, see for example
