This seems equally hard for Anglophones to pronounce.

The way I'm pretty sure most Americans pronounce it is as you describe: "skwurl," rhyming with "girl" and "swirl."
But I've read from British people online that they say "skwih-rel."

try to make a frenchman say "rural" in english, it's far harder

french people don't say squirrel properly because they don't know how it's pronounced, not because it's hard

"woowul" lmao
Anything other than a soft postalveolar approximant is cringe by the way. Don't trill or tap the R when saying "rural".
>>212653125
Yeah so "skwur'l".
Nice voice btw that's ASMR shite right here.

No we pronounce the E unlike americans. Phonetically in french it would be pronounced like "sqoui-reulle"

Scottish accents are pure SOVL
Also there are some old people in NE England that pronounce the R just like you guys (see Northumbrian burr)
