I learned to flutter tongue while preparing for our Russian Tour. A
linguist taught me how to roll the Rs so I could pronounce some of the
Russian sounds. From there, it was easy to flutter tongue.
I'm convinced anyone can learn to flutter tongue unless they are
determined to prove to you they can't do it. At least the way I do it.
Simply try to hold the front part of your tongue against the roof of your
mouth with the right amount of light pressure and blow. The tongue flutters.
It takes a little practice, but it is really quite simple.
Thant being said, nobody has been able to teach me to curl my
tongue. Can't do it. No way. Nor can I wiggle my ears, but my dad can.

I'm one of those who entered college thinking that I could never
flutter-tongue. Fortunately, we played Karel Husa's Music for Prague my
first semester. After six weeks of struggling to do the numerous flutter
tongued passages, it happened, and I've been able to flutter tongue ever
since.
