How do they say “”Paris”
There is no R sound in mardi in Parisian French. Don't be obtuse, it is hard work.

I don’t think it’s some huge secret that a large portion of our population has a hard time pronouncing “R’s.”
I was referring to pronouncing the “s” at the end of gras.

pah-XHREE
It’s a phonetic sound not seen in English
It’s a voiceless fricative almost like a pharyngeal fricative
Like how you say Hanukkah (CHXA-nukkah) but it’s voiceless instead of pharyngeal.
That is how most R sounds are in French.
