A short pronunciation lesson by Hadar Shemesh that explains the two English /l/ sounds: the "light L" (occurring word-initially or before vowels — e.g., live, allow, philosophy) and the "dark L" (occurring word-finally or before consonants — e.g., pal, feel, alternative). The speaker demonstrates each type with examples and invites the listener to try pronouncing them.
