t		The French 't' is pronounced like an English 't' after a 'th' sound (as in "with two"). Your tongue touches the back of the teeth. Also try to avoid a "strong burst of air" (aspiration) as in English. If you are a native English speaker, repeat the word "tool" then "stool" with your hand in front of your mouth. In "tool", you'll feel a stronger burst of air than in "stool". In French, pronounce the 't' as in English "stool", without the strong burst of air.
ʁ		The French 'r' is generally what is technically called a "uvular fricative". In simple language, that means you bring the back of your tongue close enough to the back of the mouth that it causes friction (the "raspy" sound that you hear) with the escaping air.
o		The French 'close o' vowel is pronounced with the tongue far back in the mouth and with the back of the tongue raised up towards the soft palate (towards the back of the roof of the mouth). Holds the lips in a rounded, bunched position as you pronounce the vowel and avoid pronouncing it as a "glide" or diphthong.
