Hi! I'm George. My English teacher called this dark l : " metall l". Why?

Hi Billie! I live in the East London. I've noticed that some people pronounce strange a word: "milk".

Thanks Billie. I still have a doubt. Consider the word "colour". The "l" belongs to the first syllable and is dark. It seems to me that we also link the "l" to the second syllable schwa. I feel like I first pronounce the dark L then the light one with the schwa.

it is a light L, not dark.

@@pablohuet3270 When I say the word "colour," I feel that it is light. But according to dictionaries (more than one!), the "l" after 'o' belongs to the first syllable. Then by definition, it should be dark. That's where I am confused.

@@janisfok8848 Since it’s between 2 vowels, it’s light. Otherwise it’s hard to pronounce.

Why is "Ally" being pronounced different? I know "Ally" as "You are my ally in the battle", this sounds like "Ellie" to me, the character from the game The Last of Us.

I found this video quite interesting because the dark l is the one phonemic difference in my German dialect that is still carried over when people speak high German because it is easy to understand even when the light l is replaced by a dark l. Other differences such as /g/ -> /j/ , /eɪ/ -> /ɪ/, /n/ -> /ŋ/ , /a:/ and /ʌ/ to /æ/ , or the addition of sounds like /e/ or /ə/ make it much more difficult to understand for those not familiar with the dialect. Example: wine -> Wein /veɪn/ -> Wing /vi:ŋ/ Edit: Had to edit the above a bit after going through your video on vowel sounds.

[l - ɫ] Prof Daniel Jones, a British phonetician, the father of British English phonetics, once said that these speech sounds were named "clear l" and "dark l" respectively. I live in Indonesia. Most Indonesians here in Jakarta are moslems. To moslems, our first foreign language is not English, but Classical Arabic. It is the original language of The Quran, our Holy Book. We start to learn the phonetics of Classical Arabic when we are seven years old or, in other words, when we enter elementary school. Here, in Indonesia, the two kinds of "l" speech sounds are very famous and they are called "light l" and "thick l" respectively. In Classical Arabic, that "dark l" occurs only in the name of God "Allah" [ˈɑɫːɑːɦ] when it is pronounced in isolation. When that word is preceeded by [a] and [ʊ], as in "innallaaha" (=in fact, God...) and "rosulullaah" (=Mohammed), it is also pronounced with a dark l, thus: [ˈɪnːˈɑɫːɑːɦa] and [rɑsʊˈlʊɫːɑːɦ] respectively. However, when it is preceeded by [ɪ] as in "lillaah" (for God), a clear l should be pronounced: [ˈlɪlːaːɦ].

Billie you're teaching phonetics as if we are in a real class room. Do you follow IPA/ British pronunciation in these videos
@BillieEnglish2 жыл бұрын
Thank you 😊 Indeed, this is my classroom and you are all my students! 💛 I'm using the IPA symbols for British English, the ones most European course books use as well. There are a few symbols that are a little different in IPA, if you search for the chart from Adrian Underhill, that's the one most of us use in Europe (and its for British English).

Can you elaborate on what's the tongue position for the light L? Also, can you use the dark L for all Ls?
@thelemondropgirl2140 Жыл бұрын
Probably best to use the Light L if you’re only using one. Some dialects don’t have any dark L
