Very good! Thanks! Now I could help then with "L" sound.. :) They say ( Rinda), instead of (Linda)! Very difficult for them, they have no "L" sound in Japanese language. . A man tried to say to his colleagues at the meeting.: "I agree" but could not pronounce it ... so he said... "I uglee" to emphasize his weak "L". (It came out of his mouth: "Ugly"); People were shocked with the surprised - big eyes :) :) :)

Yes, this is really interesting and so helpful. I'm a bit surprised that I can see your tongue between your teeth for the /l/. Normally I teach students to only put their tongue between their teeth for the "th" sound, and to always make contact with the tongue behind the upper teeth. I'd love to hear your take on that! Thanks

Hmm. Interesting. I just tried out your method to put the tongue behind the upper teeth and that seems to work as well. I think I had my students visibly put their tongue between their teeth so that I could actually see what they were doing with their tongue. Otherwise I had no idea what was going on inside their mouth and thus could not correct them. I think though, a key is the "smile" since it helps Japanese people to "freeze" their lips and thus not move them to make an "R" sound while trying to make a "L" sound. (Sorry for the time delay in my response, I don't think KZitem sent me notification of your comment, so I'm just seeing it now, April 23, 2021).

@@robertw.gordonesq.3435 thanks for replying. No worries about the time delay. And again, interesting! I stand by my method of keeping the tongue behind the teeth (so as not confuse with the "th") but your tip to have them smile is a gem. So good. Thanks again! @TweakyourEnglish
