Hm. This will be interesting, as the French 'r' is the bane of my existence - they don't actually articulate it the way we do. It's the same letter but sounds different. The 'Lo' is the same as in 'low' and the rest is 'aarh,' like what you say when the doctor gets out the tongue depressor and tells you to open your mouth. The 'r' aspirated - it's more air than sound, all in the back of the throat. It's really not something I can successfully explain because it's not a sound or articulation we have in English.
