Hello. I am wondering how the Hebrew "R" (Resh?) in words is pronounced. Is it like a French R (back in the throat), a Spanish R (rolled) or an English R, or some other sound?
Thanks!
Please don't put Hebrew letters in your answer... I don't have the text installed on my computer so I can't see it.
Thank you

voiced uvular fricative
The voiced uvular fricative is a type of consonantal sound. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ʁ (upside down capital R). This consonant is one of the consonants collectively known as uvular R.
