The German R comes from the back of the throat.
You can feel it if you touch your throat. You get the R at the right position by trying to clear your throat. If it hurts in the throat, the place where you make the R is right.
The R is a little tricky. There are basically two pronunciations. One is the throat R and the other one sounds very similar to A. I recommend to use only the throat R in the beginning. If you don't pay attention it will soften by itself and become smooth and non-hurting "A"-R over time.
Training words:
Rote Rüben
Kartoffeln
groß
drei grüne Regentropfen
Zungenbrecher:
Ich bin 33 Jahre alt.
33.333 durstige Räuber bedrohen Robert.
Hannover /hanova/
-er at the ending of words are usually pronunced "a". The throat gets tighter when producing the sound for -er.
Words with a soft R:
sondern
Kiefer
Lärm
