And to clarify my previous post....one should attempt rolling the R with the tongue in the upward position. So it will not actually roll in the same way we Americans roll the R due to the position of the tongue (and due to the complexity of the Danish Language- it is almost an R/L sound). My good friend is called Rikke and she lives in Copenhagen so I have had a lot of practice as I visit quite a bit. If you get really stuck you can always reference the below, although for some that is not going to help much. Beautiful name and language but not easy for anyone outside of the Nordic or Germanic regions to pronounce.
