### The l sound

Touch the tongue tip to the ridge behind your top teeth. At the end of a syllable the l is darker and the back of the tongue rises.

### Consonant clusters

Three consonants run together with no vowel between them. Say them as one movement rather than inserting an "uh"; slowing down is fine, adding a vowel is not.
