Not especially, Lolx5

The Japanese R is somewhere between L and R in terms of method of pronunciation so I can understand the confusion, but I dont think there is any real difference (certainly none you should worry about) between kara and any other word. (plus kara is such a recognisable word, it would be hard to be misunderstood).

How much Japanese do you know? If you're still in your first 3 years or so of learning Japanese, then I wouldn't worry too much about exacting your pronounciation yet! If it really bothers you, try listening to Japanese radio or TV for "kara", and try and imitate it.
