I simply don't see how this is difficult!
I think just English speakers in general. Latin derived languages usually tend to have no trouble (portuguese, spanish, catalan, italian, french) as the rolled R is usually present in the language.
On the other hand, portuguese/spanish speakers are usually useless at pronouncing TH, it is either T or D. I had a lot of trouble learning it, and usually used to pronounce THE as DE, thing as FING, etc.
Just goes both ways I guess.
