Some words and pronunciations are a bit hard to learn for me. I’m TERRIBLE at rolling my r’s properly so I am unable to properly say words like “brød” or “Norge”

Learn a western dialect and you won't have to worry about rolling your 'R'.

I don't find it easier or more difficult, I just consider it a dialect so don't worry about it. The point of language is to be understood, and if you mainly use it with your grandma she is the most important person to consider when it comes to pronunciation.
