There are basically
two ways to pronounce the letter
R in
French. The first, and
hardest for most people, is the back-of-your-
throat 'coughing' one. It's really not that
difficult if someone explains it right. All you gotta do is pronounce an 'H' like you're trying to hack something onto the
wall. Then, all you must do is
incorporate this sound into the middle of several
common words. For example:
Merci (thanks)
Porte (door)
Trente (thirty}
The second way is slightly softer and gentler. This is usually used when the R is at the end of a word. Examples:
Pour (for)
Bonjour (hello)
You are now on your way to impressing everyone!
