Im just learning , but its pretty straight forward that its strong when its the first letter and light when in the middle and near silent at the end of words that are not verbs as verbs that end are silent

As a French, nerd about French language, you have a very good ear. You are finally the first foreigner I "see"to have noticed it! Yes there are several r in french. :)

[@XOXO-eo5vu]

​​@@joshboy88420Great ear too. This is exactly what you are describing. For the second type of r this is not about being in the middle, it is about being followed by a silent vowel or not. If it is, the r turns into the exact same sound as the Spanish j or the Arabic kh or the German ch (in words such as Ach) because it is too hard for us to keep this guttural r after a silent vowel so by assimilation the r turns also into this silent version of the r.

In Spain, we pronounce our J very similar to the French R. You just change it a bit which is why it's so easy for me learning French to pronounce the R :)

[@XOXO-eo5vu]

It depends on the position of the r within the word. The r in the beginning of words like rivière or Rue has nothing to do con la jota. But in the words Afrique, Trois or France, yes it is una jota. And we have another r at the end of words which has nothing to with con la jota either like in words bière, frère, terre etc.
