SESSION 3: GETTING PRONUNCIATION RIGHT - PART I

Tonight, we're going to learn how to pronounce the "L" sound in English properly. This is one of the most confusing pronunciations for "English as Second Language (ESL)" people.

There are two types of "L" sound:

1. Tongue-UP "L" Sound:

For example:

TELL, BELL, SHELL, WELL, CALL, FALL, TALL, BALL, WILL, STILL, etc.


2. Tongue-DOWN "L" Sound:

Example:

LIGHT, LOW, LIKE, LAND, LISTEN, LEND, LAPTOP, LEADER, etc.

Lyrics: YOU'RE THE VOICE by John Farnham

We have the chance, to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear

Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing, we can make it better

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
