I pronounce the letter &quot;r&quot; in lojban the same way I would in english,<br>

Is there any other way to pronounce the &quot;r&quot; in lojban, cuz I think I<br>
can trill my &quot;r&quot;s most of the time, but I&#39;m certainly not perfect.<br>
Trying to say &quot;hamstron&quot; the way the guy in this video says it (1:15)<br>
