Guest: Speaking English

The most difficult sound in American English? That’s easy, it’s the Dark L. If you’re learning to speak English it’s almost certain that you don’t have the Dark L locked in. It’s just and incredibly tough to master. But over the years I’ve learned how to make the American English accent approachable to every learner. Speaking English without the Dark L in place just won’t ever sound natural. But in this video I’ll teach you everything you need to know.

It sounds crazy but mastering one particular sound in American English makes a huge difference in how you sound. The “L” sound is crucial to the American accent. While it may be deceptively simple in theory, nailing the “L” can be more difficult than it first appears. Speaking English like a native speaker without really getting the “L” simply can’t happen.
