@Richnirish: try saying an English "R" and then slowly move the R (or your tongue) towards the front, so the closest contact is between the front part of your tongue and the place just behind your front teeth.
The Chinese "R", the way I hear it, is not as round and soft as the English "R"
It's a bit difficult to explain all this on screen, but hope it helps!
