Production

1. Place the tip of your tongue against your upper gum ridge.

2. Open your mouth wide enough to slip the tip of your finger between your lips.

3. Keep the sides of the tongue down.

4. Produce voice. Don’t let any air through your nose.

Note! In the production of clear [l] the tongue is raised in the direction of the hard palate. This slightly palatalizes the sound. In the production of the dark variant the back of the tongue is raised in the direction of the soft palate.
