The t is silent. The end sound is a nasal n so more like kwah–sahn with the final n being very nasal and soft.

I actually find the french r to be super difficult though. Way the hell back in the throat where letters aren’t supposed to be formed.

It’s because your mouth isn’t soft enough. French requires you to release the tension in your mouth and tongue, it’s weird but it really works

Same in parts of germany. Though we also have tongue-r regions so you can choose

I think you'd have a "fun" time with Arabic (CTRL+F "Pharyngeal" for the fun).
