The Light L /l/ and Dark L [ɫ] in English

In this video I show you how to pronounce the difference between the Light L and the Dark L in English. I’ll give you examples of words and sentences with the light and dark L and how to pronounce them perfectly in English. NOTE: For the second sentence, you can also pronounce the word “fell“ with a light L as the next word is followed by a vowel. It’s possible in natural speech, however, in this video I didn’t want to overcomplicate the matter and go into it, so I kept it as a Dark L! 🤓 ⚠️ NOTE: At 1:15 I say “lovely“ but the word says “lucky“. The transcription is correct but the word isn’t. It should be “lovely“. :) ⚠️ // MY PRONUNCIATION COURSE (get DAILY feedback and a 1-1 lesson every month!) // MOST POPULAR PRONUNCIATION VIDEOS 🌟 Can’t Find a Speaking Partner?: Improve your Pronunciation: The Alphabet: Can vs. Can’t: The Consonants: The Vowels: Pronounce “Clothes“: Pronounce “ed“ Endings: The Yorkshire Accent: // SUBSCRIBE FOR WEEKLY VIDEOS 📹 // FREE PHONEMIC CHART 💬 // FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📱 Ko-fi Donations: Website: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: // COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS 🤔What camera do you use?

If any of my content is sponsored, I will place a notification in the video and description. I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚
