i've found that gaeilge speakers and scottish can pronounce them better than other native english speakers. while the r is pronounced with with the back of the tonge in english, in spanish we use the very tip of it, making it vibrate just behind the front upper teeth.

I can tell you as well that it is the most difficult sound in spanish, along with the J, and that many dislexic pple there have problems with it.

Try to imitate scottish accent when speaking english, and notice the stronger sound they use for the r.

suerte!
