Finally a video which clearly demonstrates the tongue position you know when u are a foreigner you can't really get the difference just by listening or using a poor or not tremendously clear tongue image after all there is a lot of different L's out there lol Also a tip for Arabic speakers the dark L or the L in the end of the word he was talking about *I guess* actually exists in Arabic too but only in the standard pronunciation of the word ( الله ) -except when it follows long or short /i/ when it is not emphatic: بسم الله according to wiki - While we usually if not always use normal L in every other word like ( ليمون،لسان،لقاح....ألخ )

[@HajarJackoub]

wow! I only just noticed it now, and it sounds almost the same except that we do hit the palate!

[@woodies2009]

Fantastic! Most teacher of English don't teach the difference like you do.

[@harleythecommercialrealtor]

Wow! I am an English teacher in Taiwan. A lot of people, including my students, have difficulty with this. I know how important this sound is in English so I am glad to have found such a helpful video on how to do pronounce the L and R. I would really like to know where I could also buy your mouth and tongue teaching tool. It makes explanations way easier!

Thank you sir for this amazing video for the last 13 years of my life I was little bit insecure about my speech. But now I finally understand the difference between l and r

Excellent video. As a German I'm having heaps of trouble with the likes of "horror", "rural", "juror" and "squirrel". This helps a lot.

Finally, I know the different between this two words, so clear thanks so much.

[@edwarda.casimiro9808]

Excellent video! I know it will help a lot of people out there. If I may, however: an L before a consonant is pronounced the same way as a final L, as in "alter" and "Sir Elton John." That last example uses both the L and R sounds. "Parallelogram" is an awesome practice word. I give this video 6 stars and an Oscar!

[@dmytrograbovskyi7896]

massive thank YOU! no dictionary shows these differences in pronunciation. we demand more similar videos from you! pleeeease!

I'm an American but I cannot pronounce my R's I'm 12 and I stopped speech therapy because it was a school one and last year was last year in elementary and they decided it wasn't necessary because people can understand me. So I'm stuck not being able to pronounce it

[@AndresMedina1]

I wish I could hear your accent or something similar. I mean American accent dropping R's

[@zeruty]

@@AndresMedina1 I'm almost 40 now, but I'm American. In elementary school I had trouble with R, and what my problem was, for instance, was pronouncing radio like wadio.

Speaking about prefect L & R pronunciation. What about saying or pronouncing these following words in British commont pronounciation? Which one is correct? 1. liverpool /'livə,pəʊ:w/ or /'livə,pʊ:l/? 2. hospital /'hos'pitəʊw/ or /'hospitəl/? 3. so well /səʊ wĕw/ or /soʊ wĕl/? 4. rolling /rəʊwin'/ or /roʊlling/? 5. salmon /sa:mən/ or /saməʊn/?

[@girv98]

I know it's 'a tad' late but: - /'lɪvə.pu:l/ - /ˈhɒs.pɪ.təl/ - /səʊ.wɛl/ - /'ɹəʊlɪŋ/ - /ˈsamən/

imo "horror" is more difficult to pronounce than "parallelogram"
