Russ you are 50% right and 50% wrong. The Pronunciation is correct but the spelling is wrong when it is spelled (lin).

Japanese R's have more of an L sound to it. Probably one of the most difficult sounds to make while speaking it. It reminds me of Spanish rolling the R but again it is not an R sound.
