Session Five
1. Consonant L

Hi, welcome back. Again my name is Paul Gruber and this is the
Pronunciation Workshops--- Fifth Training Session. We’re really moving
along. In this session, we will cover the L sound, which happens to be
another important speech sound. Depending on your native language,
some speakers have a very difficult time with the L sound. L sounds are
actually very easy. Here are a few things to remember.
No.1. When you’re saying a word which begins with an L, your mouth
should be wide open and your jaw should be down, like this. That’s an easy
one.
tongue should rise up and push just behind your top teeth,
like this. Notice my mouth is open.
No.3. And this is an important part. You pronounce the L sound by
dropping and relaxing your tongue~, like that. Now, again you’ll notice
that my mouth and jaw are open. This is key. What I don’t want you to do is
to be moving your jaw along with your tongue. I don’t want you to be doing
this Ah Ah Ah. Your jaw should not be moving at all. Keep it open. Here’s a
trick that may help you. Take your finger and put it in your mouth and pull
down hard on your lower lip and force your mouth open and your jaw
down. Like this. Now, while your jaw is down, bring your tongue tip all the
way up behind your teeth and do this LaLaLa. My tongue is coming up but
my jaw is staying down. What you’re doing is forcing your mouth and your
lower jaw to stay open while you’re raising your tongue up, and that’s
what I want. I want your jaw to stay down, your mouth to stay open and
your tongue to rise up independently of your jaw LaLaLa, like that and
that’ s how you produce a beautiful and clear L. Ok, let’s do some pratice.
Repeat these words beginning with the letter L. Here we go.

Ok, let’s talk about when L falls at the end of a word. This is a big

problem for many foreign speakers, so pay close attention to this. To
produce an L sound at the end of a word. Keep in mind that the sound of
the L comes from the movement of the Tongue Rising. It does not come
from the placement of the tongue, but from the actual movement. Watch me
as I say this word. Hill. The L comes from the movement of my tongue. You
may want to use that finger trick again. Put your finger in your mouth, pull
down on your lower tip and slowly say the word. The only thing that should
be moving is your tongue should be coming up. Hill. Your jaw should not
be moving at all to let your tongue rise up. Hill. If you’ re having difficulty,
produce this in front of a mirror and watch your jaw and your tongue and
be sure you don’ t produce the L sound by closing your mouth which many
foreign speakers do. Hill. Hill. See how my mouth is closing. Hill. You don’t
want to do that. That produces a weak L and to an American listener it is
not clear and you may not be understood. Let’s start in practising these
words ending with Ls. Here we go.
