I’m also learning french and learning the R is the hardest that ppl get speech therapists for it. I would probably tell them “hey, I am learning the language but have found it’s hard to say the R. I hope it doesn’t make me seem un genuine or hinder our ability to communicate.”

My school pitched us an app called “Mango” you can get it for free with a library card if they accept it in your area. It’s also of speaking back and forth. But I’ve found it helpful for my style of learning

Np! I made a Reddit post in r/france and there are natives saying they will be able to understand. But to make sure your vowel pronunciations are more spot on
