Which word in English has the same sound as the r in Spanish when you say María?

r's in Spanish are formed totally differently by a person's tongue than r's in English. In Spanish, the tip of the tongue touches the roof of the mouth. In English, it touches the bottom front teeth.
The closest I can think of to getting a word that forces your tongue into the shape you want would be something like "tree" or "dry". T and D start at the roof of the mouth, so the combination means you form the r at the roof or you mouth, too. Compare the way you say "tree" to the way you say "free", and you'll see what I mean about tongue position. If you can mimic the way you say the "r" in "tree" while saying "Maria" you'll get the right sound. :)
Sometimes people compare the Spanish simple 'r' to the two 't's in the word 'little'.
