/l/ Consonant

-

The correct way to make the sound is when the tongue tip is pressed against the gum ridge behind the upper front teeth and the airstream is continuously and passed over both sides of the tongue. Then the vocals cords are vibrating.


When an unstressed syllable begins with t or d and ends with L, the l frequently becomes its own syllable. It is formed by keeping your tongue tip on you upper gum ridge without moving it from the position of the preceding t or d.

The consonant [t] is a common sound and, for many learners, it does nor cause much difficulty. When you are pronouncing [t], your tongue tip should touch the upper gum ridge, NOT the back of your upper front teeth. [t] must be said with strong aspiration and a puff of air or it might sound like [d]. Some speakers tend to say [ts] instead of [t] before [u] or [t ʃ ] in place of [t] before [i] and [ ɪ ]. The letter t is usually pronounced [t]. The letters ed in past tense verbs are pronounced [t] when they follow a voiceless consonant. When [t] is between two vowels and follows a stressed syllable9 as in water, butter and city), it is NOT aspirated. When [t] follows s (as in stop, stay, stick), it is NOT aspirated with a puff of air. Some speakers of various Asian languages tend to add the sound [o] to words ending in [t] in English (the word cat becomes cato, the word sit becomes sito). Be sure you avoid this extra vowel when practicing words with final [t]. Vid...
