I feel that I understand enough Spanish to be able to effectively communicate with someone, the only problem that has hampered me in trying to become completely fluent in the language is that I cannot roll my R's. I put forth quite an effort into it when my mother married a guy who spoke Spanish, but he would only make fun of me when I couldn't pronounce things and it sort of gave me a negative attitude about ever trying to put forth any real effort. Now my employer will pay me more if I can speak Spanish, but not being able to roll my R's is making things difficult. Would I still be able to speak Spanish effectively without being able to do this? I was reading online and something said the only thing that can keep you from learning is a cleft palette or missing teeth, and I have neither, so I guess I should keep practicing and it will come one day. But if it doesn't for some reason, would I still have success speaking? thanks for your input.
