Why would they insert an [r]?

It's not really an 'r', something between orl and oil.
You should hear them talk.

You should learn phonetic notation.

Most German isn’t rhotic, Peter. So German speakers have the same factors
motiving their “phonetic” transcription as Brits and Australians.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. <c> is [k] in <correct>, no
matter who is pronouncing it.

You kan pronounce the 'c' in a rough German way,
kan't you?

I have no idea what "a rough [German] way" is.

[ts], but only before <e> or <i> (or <ae> or <oe> or the other exceptions).
Franz is not making any sense.
