Hi, Ingo--
one exercise I've heard about is this... say the word "gutter" over and over again...don't aspirate the "t"s, however... then say, "gutter - er" over and over again...faster and faster.... just keep your tongue loose and your air flowing..
hope this works!!
oh, another thing that is a good cheating technique...in italian, just imitate a flipped r by doing a really soft, dental "d".... as in "cado mio ben, kudaydimi almen".. surprisingly enough, I have student from Scotland of all places who can't roll her r's and sometimes this works for her...
