Sorry about the blank post. Accidentally hit the wrong button...
Interesting! Yes, I sort of do. Well, we moved to France when I was 10 weeks old and my first words were French, but I don't speak it now. And it's always been the most difficult language for me for some reason. My parents are fluent in it, but I just have the hardest time with it. That must be why I'm told that my 'R's sound French. Never understood the difference between a French R and others. Thanks!

Do you speak French, because that's how a French "r" is produced (in speaking, not singing). Not sure if there are other languages that do it that way as well.
