I find that rolling my "R"s in Spanish is very, very difficult and I'm not sure if it is something that is teachable.
In this sense, I pronounce "pero" ("but" in English) and "perro" (dog in English) in exactly the same way.
The English skillset does not seem to accommodate this sound!

Then there's q in Chinese too, and the main problem with this sound is that everyone seems to say it differently.
No, seriously, Khoisan phonetics are difficult... The rest is just practice...
