Can you explain the pronounciation of "Lily"? is the second L in the word a dark L? I try saying it in dark L but it doesn't seem right.

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Ah, this is a great question! You can pronounce the second L either way, as a light L /ˈlɪ.li/ or a dark L /ˈlɪl.i/. I think I pronounce it as a light L most of the time. I hope this helps! :)

Thank you!!@@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent

[@englishgrammarnaubastakala3469]

Do the words 'people' and 'help' have the same l sound?

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Thanks for your question! Yes, I transcribe both of these words with the dark L. I hope this helps!
