how can i roll my tongue??? it's really hard...
i have tried for many times, but rolling my tongue still remains an impossible task to me...
is it a physical problem? maybe some people can never achieve this due to their body conditions, like the shape, the length of the tongue??

Hi Amber! Rolling the tongue is difficult even for Spanish-speaking little children, the "R" is one of the last letters we learn to pronounce. Many people believe that the ability to roll the tongue is kind of genetic, but everyone could eventually learn it. You can see that form immigrants' children, they can speak Spanish properly even they don't have any ancestor who did it.
Here you have a link that can help you: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/spanish/spanish_main.swf
At the other hand, you don't need necessary roll the tongue. Anyone will understand you. There are more important subjects like grammar, collocations, etc..You don't have to speak like a native speakerto be understood by them.Just keep up practicing Spanish
Bye!

Read this many many times:
Erre con erre, guitarra,
erre con erre, barril.
¡Mira que rápido ruedan
las ruedas redondas
del ferrocarril!
Por la calle de Carretas
pasaba un perrito;
pasó una carreta y
le pisó el rabito.
¡Pobre perrito,
cómo lloraba
por su rabito!
R con R cigarro,
R con R barril,
rápido corren los carros
cargados de azúcar al ferrocarril.
En tres tristes trastos de trigo,
tres tristes tigres comían trigo;
comían trigo, tres tristes tigres,
en tres tristes trastos de trigo.
Borracho un ratón robó
un ramo de rosas rojas.
El rabo se le enredó
y rodó de rosa en rosa.
