@Nightingalle I know ^_^ Apparently experts can't agree if German "r" is uvular.

@wim_v12e oh how interesting XD so what should it be then? XD

@Nightingalle Well, I am not an expert :), but there is some discussion on Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttural). Some say it's uvular, some say it's alveolar. From personal experience, it really depends what part of Germany a person is from.

@Nightingalle I always uses the alveolar regardless what language I speak :) Even in English, I can get away with it because I live in Scotland XD

@wim_v12e either way I'd better cram this R into my memory XD Still not sure how it's supposed to be pronounced, I have tried and several times it was close but I quickly forgot the trick of it XD

@Nightingalle Trying to reproduce a sound from a foreign language can be tricky.
