The Two L Sounds of English (American Accent Training)

If you want to be more easily understood in English, neutralize your accent, or speak with an American accent, the two L sounds in English are important for you to work on. A lot of non-native speakers mispronounce the light L, which is used at the beginning of words, by only using the tip of the tongue and pressing it against the roof of their mouth very lightly. Even more non-native speakers mispronounce the dark L, which is used in the middle of words after a vowel and at the end of words, by only using the tip of their tongue and not the back of their tongue to pronounce it.
Mastering these two sounds will help you master a more American accent or be more easily understood.

call -> dark L. Why does the dark L become a light L when saying calling?

Thanks so much! I have a question When the word ends in dark L sound and if the next word begins with vowel sound can we change dark L into Light L?

Even in that case, it’ll be a dark L in the sense that the back of the tongue will be higher than it is with a light L. But the difference is that you will need to push the tip of your tongue against your teeth at the end to connect it to the vowel in the next word (assuming you’re not pausing before the vowel). Normally, you don’t need to use the tip of your tongue for a dark L before a consonant (but some people do - it depends on the speaker).
