Please don't perpetuate the stupid stereotype about the way people from New Jersey speak. A very small minority of Jerseyans, mostly from Hudson County, next to NYC, talk the way you hear on TV and in the movies.
This might give some of the people on here a heart attack to learn, but guess what? MOST people in NJ pronounce their Rs very clearly.
Regardless, if the OP is not a troll and is genuinely concerned, the answer is simple. Modify the way you speak.
Very true-some people apparently think everyone from New Jersey says New Joisey and talks like Bugs Bunny. I can't ever remember hearing the state pronounced that way by anyone.
