"Pur favor"
Just pronounce "u" instead of "o" in "por" and it's done( and rolled R).

Listen to the pronunciations in this site: http://pt.forvo.com/word/por_favor/#pt
Go to the last five ones and that's the way it's pronounced the R in the end of words. It's not exactly rolled R, because the tongue just touches the bridge of the mouth one time. I'd say it is like the English "tt", as in "butter". Of course there are a lot of other different ways to pronounce it, like in Rio de Janeiro, "púh favôh(H like the English H)", but at least in my region, it is more common to pronounce using this "flap" R.
If you can pronounce the Spanish rolled R, you can pronounce the flap R as well, it's just touch the bridge of the mouth only one time.
Here is a video in case you can't pronounce the rolled R:

@hi_edu_: thank you so much for sharing the links, the video is very helpful... But I have to say it's really a tough work for me to trill the "R", because this sound doesn't exist in the Phonetic alphabets of Chinese. As for the pronunciation of "por favor", I just can't figure out why there're so many ways to pronounce it, maybe dialects in different parts of Brazil vary from person to person? But I prefer the first one in the list, it's maybe more easier for me to pronounce. I know it takes time to practice, I'll have a try! Thanks again :-)

And I got another question. Is the pronunciation of French "R" similar to the Portuguese "R"?
- Portugués (Brasil)
No, it is not similar, at least the rolled R and flap R. The french R sounds like you're gargling. The flap R is just a very softer version of the spanish rolled R. Instead of trilling the R like a machine gun, you just flap once hahaha.
But of course, I'm talking about my region's R(south region). I personally don't like the sound of it, but in Rio de Janeiro you say "por favor" just like the first audio from the site. "Púh favôh". It sounds like the French R but without sound, like a more harder and stronger version of the English H. If you find it easier to pronounce, you should pronounce it like this, but otherwise, you should work hard on producing the flap R.
Good luck! =D

@hi_edu_: thanks for your explanation. May I ask, how do people pronounce "por favor" in São Paulo? It also sounds like the first audio, right?
- Portugués (Brasil)
As far as I know, they pronounce it like the south does(last 5 audios). I think it may vary because of the northeastern influence, but every Paulista I've met until now pronounce it the same way as us. And generally, people from the interior of São Paulo pronounce the "r" differently from the standard, like "caipiras", very similar to the English "r".
