Try some kind of tounge twister.
Red Lorry
Yellow Lorry
Its unlike Hangeul , L=R
We have seperate sound, for an example
Left = 좌회전
Right = 권리
We dont say Right as Light.
Because it totally wrong :D
Light = 빛 doenst matter it is light in weight or illumination, R isnt same as L

I think you can pronounce R really well when the time comment this.
Basically, to pronounce is just simply roll your tongue. Like what Norsuraya said, It is same with English.
To give a little idea I think the basic of rolling tongue is same like how u pronounce 겨울
Try practice this words whether u got it or not;
1) Belajar(Learning) 2)Bermain (Playing) 3)Berhibur(Entertainment)
