AB This study investigates the ultimate attainment of the second language acquisition of Spanish rhotics by a group of U.S.-born, nativeEnglish speaking immigrants to central Spain who are long-timeresidents. While previous studies examine the second languageacquisition of Spanish rhotics, these tend to focus on university studentslearning Spanish, and thus nothing is known about the extent towhich advanced second language learners develop in their rhoticpronunciation and how closely they approximate the pronunciationof native speakers. The extensive immersion in the Spanish languageand culture that characterizes these immigrants gives them as high alikelihood as one could expect of second language learners ofachieving native-like pronunciation. As a group, however, acousticanalysis reveals that the immigrants do not approximate nativespeaker performance, though they far exceed that of learners inother studies. While one immigrant does come close to native-likeperformance, most fall short.
