I think that this is one of the most difficult sounds for many ELLs to learn. It is easily mixed up with the “l” sound, and is mispronounced many times with a “trill.”  The most important thing to pronouncing the “r” sound is rounded lips and never touching the tongue to the gum ridge behind the teeth.
