According to these pages the /r/ in english "wrong" and the /r/ in dutch
"rand" are the same, but to me, they sound vastly different.

Is there something wrong with my ears, or am I misunderstanding something?
As a matter of fact, I have problems with all the r and l sounds in the
phonetic alphabet... is there anyone who can explain what all of them sound
like?

Thanks i.a.
