Well, I'm teaching them English, not Spanish so even if that's true I don't see what the Latin R has to do with anything.
:frusty:

Asians don't confuse L with the American R because the American R is an alien sound to them.  They confuse L with their own R, which is pronounced in the front of the mouth.

Tim, you are ignorant and wrong.
Could you be more specific?

I have lots of friends from all parts of the country and while vowel pronunciation and cadence varies quite a bit from region to region, the R sounds the same when spoken.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

So their "R" is not the same as our R.  Wouldn't that mean that our R is an alien sound to them?
