The first sound is /p/, which is made by pursing your lips together and pushing a puff of air from behind your lips as your release them. Just after, you need to make an /r/ sound. This sound is made by curling your tongue upwards without letting it touch the roof of your mouth and vibrating your vocal cords so the air escapes around the sides of your tongue. The starting position for this sound, therefore, is with your lips pressed together and your tongue ready to quickly curl back to produce the /r/ sound. These sounds are made almost simultaneously. This is a quick transition and will take practice.
