Answer 1

I had trouble with that too. You can try saying "Butter" really fast, and the tt sound will start to turn into an RR sound kinda. haha. or you can do the trick where you say a quick "d" sound in front of the "r" sound and it kind of sounds right, a little. hahah. buena suerte hermano ;)

Answer 2

I had braces on for 2 years and I spoke Spanish fine, although in English the word "cheating" came out as "shitting." Well, any who, I guess you sound like a little kid that can't roll the r's, well you should say words that have r's over and over until you get it. Prefereably the ones with double r's. Maybe you can't say your r's because you are puerto rican? if so, then you are excused, you just don't say your r's.
say:
carro
ornitorrinco
Puerto Rico
etc....

Answer 3

If you were able to do it once, you can do it again. Don´t give up. Practice, practice, practice.

Come on:
r con r cigarro
r con r barril
r con r que rápido
corren los carros
cargados de azúcar
del ferrocarril.

Buena suerte!

Answer 4

"ay ay ay, your ancestors are rolling over in their graves!!!"

that's what my spanish teacher used to say to her hispanic students who couldn't roll their rrr's. Sorry, buddy, i'm a blue eyed white girl with no "r" rolling abilities.
