Question

Is it bad if I can't roll my R's in Spanish. I mean I try hard but I can only do a throat roll and everyone else can roll their R's except me!

If anyone has any advice on how they learned to roll their R's that would be very helpful.

No, it's not bad. This probably sounds really chliche but you just have to keep practicing. My mum can't roll her r's at all so it's almost a miracle that I can do it. I find that it's easier to roll your r's in some words than others, maybe you could try find a couple that work for you and say them a few times each day, then you can move on to harder words, you'll be rolling your r's before you know it!
