The R is read sort of as a D, however the C is not read as a TH... its more of an S sound. Also, the H is silent. Something like this:
a sed
Hi Veij. Welcome to the forum.
Click on the little speaker icon next to the word hacer in the dictionary and you'll hear the pronunciation.

The pronunciation of 'c' (when followed by 'e' or 'i') depends on the region/dialect. One legitimate choice is represented by "theta" in the IPA (or by "th" [of 'with'] in bastardized, pseudo-English transcriptions) or by 's' in other dialects/regions. When the pronunciation most closely approximates the 's' sound of English, other considerations come into play (also regional/dialectical) which may cause the sound to be an aspiration (ranging from strong to almost inaudible).
In the suggestion for the letter 'r', the operative word/phrase is 'sort of'.
