Learned this in my Spanish I class 9 years ago. Say the word "butter" over and over again as fast as you can, like 20 times. Then say a rolling 'r' word in espanol, such as burrito or rojo.

I lived in Mexico for more than a year before I could roll an r acceptably. It takes practice and more practice. The tip of your tongue will get sore and the back of it will get tired. Just put the tip of it to the ridge behind your teeth, flatten your tongue behind it, then exhale over your tongue while keeping it lightly touching that ridge. When you get the sound of a motor boat, you're almost there. Now start the sound of the rr, ehrray. Erray. Erray. And you'll get there too.

Practice, and realise that a few folks simply cannot. We talk english and spanish in my dwelling, each very fluently and my sister are not able to roll her r's. Someone informed me it used to be a genetic trait, like being equipped to twist your tongue, however I am now not certain approximately that.

You could probably try to impersonate--seriously--the sound of a motorboat. Learning Spanish helped me to roll my r's. Before then, I couldn't roll my r's to save my life.
You could also try to place your tongue behind your two top front teeth and brush it toward the back of the palate while inhaling. It may work.

Practice. Put your tongue behind that little ridge above your teeth and blow. After a while your tongue muscles will get the idea and you'll be able to do it easily.
