  1. Informative video! I loved it. You explained the difference in the articulation of R and L in such a simple yet amazing way. I'll keep practising until I master the difference between the two sounds. Thank you!

  2. Ok this helped me more then speech therapy in school they said I had to bring the tip of my mouth back to make the r felt uncomfortable I could do it or the said to bunch the tongue in the back felt better but I wasn’t as consistent this is better I know realized it’s just the side that matters and make lips

  3. Thanks so much for the wonderful lesson but I have a question about pronunciation of R and L sound when they occur in the same word like "Alright," "Already" or separate words in a sentence like "A bell will ring", "I will write" that's it I hope you understand my question

  4. For most non-native speakers, the real challenge isn’t the light L or the initial R, but the dark L and the various R-colored sounds in the middle or at the end of words — like in schedule, payable, special, little; whirlwind, world, bird, hurt, nurse, later… ☺

  5. R sound

    Mouth
    – The sides of the tongue usually line up with the sides of the teeth

    Tongue
    – Is pulled back in your mouth

    Lips
    – Kiss mouth shape
    – Open your mouth and release the back of the tongue

  6. L sounds

    If the word finishes with an L
    – Tongue is under the top teeth

    Of the word starts with an L
    – Tongue is behind the top teeth

    If the word has an L in the middle
    – Tongue is behind the top teeth

    R sound

    Mouth
    – The sides of the tongue usually line up with the sides of the teeth

    Tongue
    – Is pulled back in your mouth

    Lips
    – Kiss mouth shape
    – Open your mouth and release the back of the tongue
