Totally different R sound in English crucifix and French croissant.

    It's still better than "Qwasant"

    even the french will often ellide the ⟨ʁ⟩ to ⟨ʁ̞⟩ or even [χ], [ʀ], or [r]. Granted none of those are lip-rounded, but I wouldn't give a Japanese speaker a hard time over /L/ pronunciation either.
