Learning French....said with gurgling sounds on the R

My husband and I were able to begin a crash course in French today. Um....it's hard. The teacher is a young woman who is a native Belgian and speaks very good English. She was fairly patient, if a little snooty, which I've come to expect from French speakers. We had a good time and are looking forward to the rest of the week.
Today we covered numbers, holidays, days of the week and basic greetings. I think we did as good as anyone else in the class. The gurgling sounds that are made with the R sounds are the most difficult thing right now. That and the odd rule about feminine and masculine nouns and the endings that are dropped or added to the next word or something.....  We'll get it, we have 3 years.
