Today I'm explaining how to create the right "R" sound in French. The most important thing to be remembered is to not exaggerate the sound. Create a small vibration and make it soft. It should be an in between the Spanish "J" and the English "R"... and it definitely shouldn't hurt your throat or your ears!
