"Helaxing"




One more of the series: I do not know how to pronounce words with the letter R:

J: Hey, what are you doing?
B: Helaxing! 

The correct word here should be Relaxing, but I used to pronounce the letter R as the letter H. I believe that it is a problem for many Brazilians because our letter R in the beginning of the word sounds like the pronunciation of the letter H in English, and our H has no sound.
