I just learned to embrace that I sound like a gringo, and they appreciated that more.

Just a tidbit though, the Bolivians from Cochabamba make a "ZZZ" sounds for their double R's.

I can't roll my R's. Does that mean I have a Spanish speech impediment?

Same here. I've tried for many years, but I just don't have the ability.

I learned in Finland. Came in handy with two Spanish missions.
