I'm having a little difficult with this sound. I think I can do the sound (I'll post a
sound sample later and see what you guys think of it). But the major problem is when I
try to actually use it in words like hello or sister. I just can't seem to make at all
unlike when I do it by itself. Is there something I'm doing wrong to cause this?

I have this problem as well, because the sound is not present in my dialect of Swedish.
This has caused me problems in Russian, Spanish, Italian etc and even Standard Swedish!
My best tip is to just continue practicing it until you get it. It's harder to use it in
a word (especially in Russian words!) than by itself, but you will succeed eventually.

Now I get it. When you wrote 'P', you were writing in Cyrillic, right?

In this article

Benny pointed to an article with a slew of techniques for getting the (in my case, Spanish) 'r' down:

The p-d-d-d-ince of pe-d-d-d-rsia. The p-d-d-d-ince of pe-d-d-d-rsia. The p-d-d-d-ince of pe-d-d-d-rsia.

I walked to Russian class repeating this over and over and over again. Thinking of the "р" as multiple fast d's
was the way I learned to stick the rolled r into words!
