I often pronounce the syllabic 'r' as in English "badgers", but you can als=
o=20
roll it. Try saying "Str=C4=8D prst skrz krk". (Don't actually str=C4=8Di=
=C5=A5 prst skrz=20
krk. Just say it.) The 'r' is used as a syllable nucleus, and as far as I=
=20
know, it's rolled.

The other syllabic consonants are 'n', 'l', and 'm', of which 'm' is not us=
ed=20
as an interfix. They should be easier to pronounce.
