Description

Learn how to pronounce L in American English clearly and accurately! In this lesson, you’ll understand the difference between Light L (at the beginning of words) and Dark L (at the end of words). I explain how to say this sound so you can feel exactly what your tongue should be doing. Then we practice together with some listen-and-repeat practice using real names, contractions, and common words such as like, love, final, careful, pencil, and table. By the end of this video, you’ll have greater control, clarity, and confidence when pronouncing /l/ in both initial and final positions.
