Pronouncing "Qatar" In the Shower

Just took a 20-minute shower and spent a surprising amount of the time attempting to pronounce "Qatar" as it is pronounced in Arabic, someone just randomly listening in on me would think I was desperately trying to clear dust from my throat and also emitting little kitty-purr sounds. I did learn that the closest English equivalent, per the guy in the video below, is "Cutter," which surprises me, but I give myself credit for mentioning it as a possible pronunciation in my previous post.

I really admire how this young man just dips right into what sounds to me like a perfect Arabic pronunciation amidst normal English.
