  1. amazing video, but I got a question, I've been trying to learn the dark L for a long time, and I was told to actually LIFT the back of the tongue rather than press down, plsss gimme an answer on thiss!?

  2. Interesting. Although i can make the sound using my tip of the tapping on rhe back side of the roof of the mouth

    Edit – In case someone sees this comment, how i described is straight up wrong and that is not how you should be pronouncing the sound.

  3. Do you have to use the light L when L comes at the beginning of the word or can you use the dark L all the time? Also. does the back of the tongue raise or stay down for the light L?
