The sound will be represented by ih. It occurs three times in the name of the great French general, Joseph Jacques Joffre, pronounced zhohzef zhak zhofr. Pronounce r with a distinct trill by making the tip of the tongue .vibrate 1 just behind the upper teeth. Tele' phone operators pronounce the word "three" much like this.
