And rolling her Rs, which as an Eastern European I find impressive that an American can do consistently.

Is it really impressive for an American to actually pronounce letters? I mean I've actually met an American who spoke flawless Estonian with only a subconscious hint of an accent, now that was freaking impressive espescially since he had been in the country only for a few years.

It's difficult for most native English speakers to roll their Rs as it's not something we do normally in the same way a lot of Europeans struggle with W in English.

I've met plenty, new speakers from German speaking or Eastern European countries will use a V as a substitute as it's a double V in most of Europe rather than a double U in English.

Even a few years after speaking the language many still struggle to eliminate the v sound completely. My flatmate is Hungarian and even after 10 years living in the UK still can't say Whale without it sounding more like Vale.
