But the french “r” is not like an english “w”?

It’s as close as some English speakers can get. Some people can’t make foreign sounds. The ‘sant’ ‘sont’ ending is not right either, its more like a sohn ending with imperceptible nasal n. But again have you heard people to to speak a foreign language, it usually sounds terrible.
That makes zero sense.
The examples of English pronounciations she gives there are truly bizarre.

What country are you from and what language do you speak?
Switzerland … English is not my first or second language. Do you not find those English pronunciations there in the video bizarre?

The British English I can’t say I have hears a Brit say it. The first American one sounds right to me as does the Australian one for how we’d probably here it in Canada dltoo
American english is my first language and those all sounded spot on for all the regions she did. Even her french sounded great.
