Re: I beg to differ...
I'm an American English native speaker, and the initial sound in "raça" and "rua" sounds exactly like "h" to me. In "corrido" it sounds like the British English non-rhotic "r" at the end of the first syllable, and "h" at the beginning of the second syllable. In "morrer", the middle "r" sounds like "h" and the other two sound like non-rhotic "r". In the words ending in "ar", the "r" sounds like the non-rhotic "r". Interesting.
