Have you every noticed that the "r" sound is different in many foreign languages? English, Spanish, Russian, French, Japanese, German... the "r" sound is different in every one. Well, guess what? It's also different in Mandarin Chinese. Pinyin "r" does not make the same sound as "r" in English. In fact, the Mandarin Chinese "r" sound does not exist in English, so you're going to have to train yourself to make the sound.
