Do you find that it’s difficult to correctly pronounce the letters R and L?
I would like to introduce the easiest way to pronounce the letter R. This is especially effective for words with starting R. All you need is just a small “u”!
How do you say “river”? “リバー”? Buzz! Please try to pronounce the letter R with a small “u” at the beginning. So it’s “ゥリバー“ from now on.
What about this? “Right”. It’s “ぅライト”, not “ライト” The chips you eat on the couch are not プリングルス, they are “プゥリングス”.
So how about the letter L? Just sing ラララ. Do you feel your tongue tapping the upper gum ridge? Now you can say la li lu le lo.
I found these tips when I was a high school student and all my English teachers liked my pronunciation.
And, of course, the better you can pronounce R and L, the easier you can catch R and L when listening to spoken English.
