How to learn to roll my "r"s
It made me
extremely happy 
"As an Australian (and therefore from a non-trilling country) once I befriended Europeans I was constantly made fun of! This knowledge is invaluable for my language learning (and to sound cool)."
How I did it: I could do it a little bit at the start, but I could not hold it/keep going for more than a second.
For about a week I bugged everybody around me with this 'poem':
"Erre con erre cigarro
Erre con erre barril
Rapido corren los carros
Los carros de ferrocarril"
(may be copied down wrong but whatever. It has rrrs.)
and strengthened my tongue saying 'tee dee va' over and over again.
And after a week of this constant practicing (the poem moreso) I was sitting on the couch, watching my friend play Wii, and trilled. Since then I have been able to trill.
Lessons & tips: Don't give up, seriously, and the wikihow article is very helpful.
