Spanish has two different r letters: r and rr. The rr is rolled in the middle of a word, and sometimes distinguishes between two words, e.g. pero "but" and perro "dog." So rolling your r's at least a little is important. Many Slavic languages also feature rolled r's.

Say the word the in English. Pay attention to how relaxed your tounge is when you say the th. Move your tounge about a 1/4 inch behind your teeth. Keep it relaxed. Now push air through making noise. Forget about the English r sound because if you use the back of your mouth it won't work.

It is in Spanish where you need to roll your r's.
When we were kids we always used to try to say:
cigarro, barril, carros, ferrocarril
in order to get the feeling of it. It is just practice.

To properly pronounce some words in Spanish and Portugese, you need to be able to 'trill' your Rs.
e.g. 'Tools' in Spanish is herramientes...
pronounced - airrrrr-ah-mee-EN-tase
anytime you see a double R it gets rolled or trilled.

You can converse perfectly well without, but it does help.
