    There's a big difference in sound. It's difficult to descibe as I can't let you hear the differrence. But the english R sounds very round. Soft. The dutch R sounds more harder..rrrrrrrolade..The L is more with the tip of your tongue against your front teeth..while the R is more in the back of your tongue against the uppersite of the mounth.
