how come she doesnt roll any of her rrs neither slender nor broad?

[@lorenzovalsesia3721]

I was wondering too!

[@DuineDenFhine15]

So often for broad R’s you would hear native speakers pronouncing it similar to the English R, and when a word starts with a slender R it is pronounced as a broad one which explains why in words like rí you don’t hear a tapped R

@@DuineDenFhine15 The Irish broad R should be thrilled. The Irish slender R is entirely different to English R, while R is always broad at the beginning of words in Irish. The Irish toponym Éire, when sounded correctly, is more like the English topynym Asia than "Air-ah".
With every passing decade "Hiberno-English" becomes more divergent from Irish phonology. A typical English speaker from Dublin hardly sounds any more like a proper Irish speaker than a typical Frenchman now days.

@@pio4362 Yeah that’s completely true, there is a huge problem with learners not having correct Irish phonology and the slender R is a great example. But still native speakers to pronounce broad R similarly to the English one, it is not always tapped.
