  • Don't mispronounce words that end in the Dark L -- many non-native speakers incorrectly make an 'oh' ending. Learn how to make the Dark L and the dark sound instead of the OH.

    A similar process occurs in Brazilian Portuguese. EFL learners tend to say [braˈzɪʊ] instead of [brəˈzɪl], as we don't have the dark "l' in our language (except for some dialects in the countryside). I'm a big fan of your channel, Rachel! Congratulations!

      For me it's sort of easy to make the dark L sound because my grandmother used to say some words, like "sal" and "cal" with the dark L sound LOL
      She was brazilian, but her parents were portuguese, that's why she had a little bit of a portuguese (from Portugal) accent =D

    I’m from Shanghai, and we have the dark l sound in Shanghai dialect that stands for the oh sound in Mandarin, so my brain spontaneously treats both sounds as the same thing since I’m constantly switching back and forth. I have to force my brain to differentiate the dark l from the oh sound when I’m listening to English. I’m glad that you addressed this particular topic. I feel more comfortable to pronounce these two sounds now. Thank you!

    Hi Rachel, I find the dark 'L' to be one of the hardest sounds in American English, when I was training to reduce my accent, I felt the need to accentuate the 'L' sound by lifting the tip of my tongue to the alveolar ridge area of the mouth. Today, my dark 'L' is comprised of two movements: First, the back of the tongue pulls back, secondly, the tip of the tongue slightly lifts to mimic the regular 'L' sound, if I don't use that sequence, it makes me feel like I'm not pronouncing the word correctly, unless I'm speaking super fast, then there's no time to lift the tip of the tongue. What a pesky little sound!

    And here I was practicing "L" sound vocalization for London cockney accent. In cockney accent they do the opposite- replace dark L with "w" or "ou" sound. Vietnamese and Brasilians should have no problem with their "L" in London.

    • @kathybui1918
      @kathybui1918 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think basically we have “ fe-u” Vietnamese would speak “ feuw”, English say “ feul” as FELL, so the difference is in between of the end of articulation lips “w” or tip of the tongue “l”.

    This video reminds a situation a lived in the U.S. when I was told to look for a person called "Beo" (an African name pronounced like bɪoʊ) and it sounded like "Bill" (bɪl) to me. So I asked for Bill to everybody, but no one could find him. After a couple of minutes they realized that the name was actually Beo and not Bill, and I found him.

    Same thing occurs in Bulgarian. Younger people (born after 1990 or so) say a "w" sound instead of a dark l, because the dark l recently disappeared from the language, but nobody is aware of that, even those who speak with a dark l don't notice it when someone substitutes w for l

    • @georgydobrev3542
      @georgydobrev3542 ปีที่แล้ว

      But the Bulgarian dark L is pronounced by moving the tip of your tongue behind your upper front teeth. It sounds dark only because you make it really thin and spiky. So it’s quite different than the American dark L, and this makes it even more difficult for Bulgarians to pronounce it the right way.

    " Bowl" is the perfect word to know the difference between the dark L and OH sound. OW is OH and L is the dark L. Look at yourself in the mirror. Your lip should be rounded when you pronounce the OW, whereas your lip should be relaxed when you pronounce the L in the end.

    My mother language is Mandarin. There is no OH sound in Mandarin. OU in Mandarin is the same as the Dark L in English. I did take some time to practice the OH sound but I found what I made sounded more like U or W rather than OH. Finally, I gave up and have to substitute OH with the Dark L when I speak English.

  • @evermorevictorious2742
    @evermorevictorious2742 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The British dark L is a vocalised L. That means the L has become a vowel.
    The dark L is in 3 forms:
    1. "a schwa followed by a /u/", as in "vowel", "mail";
    2. a /u/, as in "bull"; or
    3. a /o/, as in "doll".
    (For 2 & 3, the vocalised dark L is turned into a vowel similar to the preceding vowel, usually pronounced without lip rounding.)
    For the dark L, the tongue tip doesn't touch the alveolar ridge. If it does, it is not a dark L but a light L.
    For the light L, the tongue tip touches the alveolar ridge.

  • @benchoi9474
    @benchoi9474 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    dark l and light l sound has the same starting place in IPA diagram. They begin at the alveolar or the high and front of your mouse and but dark l ends in the low and back of your mouse as described in the video :)

    @jerstumc5033 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    to make it correctly, you need to press the FLAT FRONT PART of your tounge against the roof of your mouth. So as the tip of your tounge touches the backside teeth while your front part of your tounge is flat. You don't just use your toungue tip to make the dark L. You need to use more part of your front toungue so the dark L comes out correctly. Don't focus on the sound coming in the back of the mouth because it's irrelevant, if you well-position your toungue to make the sound then the sound in the back of your mouth will come out correctly

    Hi rachel,
    I think a native italian speaker like me tends to make a different mistake, not changing dark L with OH but just with a light L. We tend to pronounce every letter the same way no matters where it is in the phrase.

    drill
    bottle
    google :)

    It reminds me of a British English dialect (I believe Cockney English) that may have the same problem. The word "bottle" that should be pronounced as [ˈbɔtəɫ] or [ˈbɔɾəɫ], sounds like [ˈbɔʔo].

    Another great video from Rachel channel. I feel so confortable when Im learning english from Rachel channel. I want to buy your book. But, for now our currency is so devalued and the dollar is each more growing.

    This is a great lesson for Japanese speakers as well. We do the same substitution such as My-koh instead of Michael.
