You have an easy job compared to Koreans whose language doesn't have distinct phonemes for /r/ and /l/.

Yeah, but my native language's /r/ is not quite the same as English /r/. (I have accidentally used the former when saying “where is” and been misunderstood by native speakers as saying “what is” as a result.)
