The little stint I had working under the table at a Chinese-American restaurant, hearing snippets of Cantonese was honestly a pleasure. So many beautiful languages and dialects in China, and I don't understand a syllable of any of them.
i have to practice rolling my r's a bit, not just for Chinese. since the word for 'hot' is a tougher r sound if one only speaks english:
热茶 rè chá
This description made a sound I've heard in others' pronunciation suddenly make sense, thank you!
If you want to be more precise about your pronunciations, you should look into the International Phonetic Alphabet. It took me way too long to figure out how to pronounce the Chinese R, only to realize I could have simply learned IPA first instead
