People who take Spanish lessons may find it a huge challenge to pronounce the rolling R sound. But a female college student in Taipei has just come up with an unusual-and expensive-way to solve the problem. She went through a surgery to have the frenulum of her tongue cut, believing it would give her tongue greater freedom of movement. But it's hard to tell at this point whether this radical strategy for Spanish learning would actually pay off.

Here's the key to sing perfectly the Spanish song "Macarena."

Look at the vibrating tongue of the Spanish teacher.

But it's apparently a huge challenge for students.

A female college student who is admitted to the department of Spanish can't seem to pronounce the sound.

Worried about being failed in freshman year, she seeks help from doctors to have her lingual frenulum cut.

The procedure is quick and only left four stitches.

The young lady hopes she can speak fluent Spanish the next day.

But the procedure is not necessary for all Spanish learners.

According to Spanish teachers, you don't have to pronounce this Spanish sound perfectly as long as you can make the sound clear and understandable.
