Rolling of the r??
I am trying to learn Spanish but I cannot roll my rs and tried to learn how to but still can’t, will people even understand me if I can’t roll my r’s??
Yes, people will still understand you if your double-R is not rolled properly (regionally, millions of natives do not really roll it), but it is important that your pronunciation of the single-R (which should *not* be rolled) and the double-R be distinct, as there are lots of minimal pairs.
Thoughtco has some good pages on the subject:

That said, the most valuable thing you could possibly do would be to master the pronunciation of the vowels. In theory, it’s the easiest thing in the world — every vowel is pronounced as in the IPA every time. English speakers have a tendency to apply crazy English pronunciation, like how the “a” is pronounced differently in every word: Hang, hand, any, wane, wan, dawn, America.

I had the same problem.
Two things helped me.
1) This video was the best for helping me roll m R's

2) Make a list of 100 words in Spanish that have the double rr sound.
Now say them out loud every day.
Over a couple weeks you will improve.
Good luck!
Hi Connor!
I know that the pronunciation is a little bit hard to get but it is not impossible. You can do it!
I wanted to tell you that I am a native speaker and I am available for a spanish conversation practice if you want to schedule one with me. We can practice pronunciation and vocabulary and I can totally help you with the "r" rolling!
I hope that you give me the opportunity to help you and I hope to see you there! :)
