I think I figured it out. I'm not sure tho. Say /X/ as in German "Bach"
(uvular fric.). Then move it back as close to your glottis as you can.
You're really using the root of your tongue (the part that's vertical
when at rest). It ends up sounding like a French /R/ when you have a bad
throat cold.

I may get rid of this sound. It's just too difficult for most people who
don't use it natively to conceptualize.

Speaking of which, I was forced by my fianc=E9e to compromize on /r/. She
can't trill or tap her R's, so she made me remove it. I left the tap
because she can turn it into an apical D.

Thanks for the advice, BTW. It will be taken to heart.
