    I actually find that the omissions make it easier than Spanish for me. I can read and write Spanish, but when I hear it, it often sounds like mumbo-jumbo, but I can understand French when I hear it much better! I am from the West Indies, and we pronounce our “R” more British-like, so the French “R” is not so hard for me, I am sure it’s very hard for Americans, because you roll you “R’s” sooooo much, you really over-emphasize your “R’s”!!! Only the Spaniards do it more!!

    I am taking French now in college, and it’s a million times harder than Spanish because of all the sound omissions. The ‘r’ isn’t easy for me either without spitting up my lunch.

    I’m french; and I know it’s difficult to say the R! but we use it in every sentences… I think it’s like when I try to say the “th” in english! I don’t know how to tell it cause I don’t use it in french… but it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to say it…they can understand! but it’s a good explanation anyway ^^ RRRRRR
