I'm having trouble pronouncing the creole letter 'R', do you have any tips?

I think the easiest way to learn to pronounce the Creole/French letter "R" is to:

1. Practice with repeating the English words "err" and "air"

2. Concentrate on the ending of these words: "err" and "air"

3. Constrict your throat more as you say the ending of these words: "err" or "air"

4. Open up your mouth a little bit more laterally as if you're trying to crack a fake smile when you say the ending of these words. Keep practicing that sound and try repeating the following Creole words:

rayi, rankontre, rele, repete, ri, rive
