I remember once when I asked Eddie, my English ex-roommate, whose wedding he was going to attend over the weekend, he answered, "ma soeur". Only he couldn't roll the "r" in the French way, so it ended up sounding like "ma sir".

To me the "r" sound in French isn't tremendously hard to pronounce.

"You don't want an English accent when you speak French," I argued.
