and fingers crossed for my other patrons next month okay so let me just say a quick hello to who is here a lots of people saying congratulations to Eric yes in fact Eric you are so interactive and so supportive and that I was really glad that your name came out so hello hello hello right so a lot of you are asking me what is a dark L what a really good question to start with so we generally in British English pronunciation will talk about the pronunciation of two types of ELLs a light hell and a dark hell and the difference in sound is this a light L is la la and a dark L is Oh Oh light luck dark or light luck dark oh la la oh it's a slight change in where the sound resonates but I feel it as the difference in the space with the back of the tongue you don't need to worry too much about the technicalities of how this is made but just so you know the tip of the tongue if this is your tongue and that's the back misses the tip and this is the roof of your mouth and these are your teeth to make the L the tip of your tongue comes up and touches behind the top teeth like this a light hell is with lots of space here si la la a dark L is with less space at the back like this all la the tip is still touching in exactly the same place la la la la it's just a difference in space at the back but don't worry too much about the technicalities because that can be confusing let's just go with the sound and the feel of it hello in Brazil hello Marcelo joining us again Thank You Thomas hi yes I've washed the turmeric off my tongue ah not orange anymore those of you who were here yesterday will know I had a very very orange tongue and if you didn't see that then the video is there to shame me forever on this channel so you can always go and catch up and have a good laugh at me but it's clean now I give it a good scrub all right so the dark hell this is how it looks phonetically sometimes it will just appear as an L without this sign but this sign is how I know to differentiate between a light L and a dark L so the dark L appears in words such as for Oh someone's just sent me a super that that means you are getting an e-book sent to you so hi Ana would love the book to improve my telephone skills with clients brilliant and stay tuned to the end I'm going to tell you how how we're going to sort that out so stay tuned to the end and they'll talk to anyone who sends super chats about how to get your ebook thank you very much that's absolutely awesome so we have full four four we have pool pool pool I know a lot of my students actually struggle to make this l at all so many of my students will say poor poor and do a W or full full and they won't put the tongue to the roof of the mouth but it's very important that you put that tongue tip up a full pool okay and the same with will will will so get that tongue tip up onto the roof of the mouth full pool will okay let's try it in a sentence so we have Paul the name Paul mulled over the will Paul Paul mold mold over the will mindful of the th the will in this case we're talking about the noun a will so a will is a document that says what you want to happen to your possessions and your money when you die who it got who who is going to get all your money who will get your house in all your possessions so a will is a document a will to mull over something if you mull something over you think about it for a while so Paul mulled over the will so Paul was thinking about the Wills okay mulled over mulled over alright let's just have a quick look at your comments here hello in Korea hello in Argentina hola buenas Dias um hello in Brazil hi Oh some of you asking how do you send a super chat if you want to get involved in the Swift chat very easy just down next to the emoji icon where you send emojis you'll see a little dollar sign put a comment in then press the dollar sign and then you can decide how much you'd like to donate to the channel okay and it takes you through from there or for some of you it's not available I am sorry about that hopefully one day it will be available everywhere could you please tell me how much does it take to get to an advanced level from intermediate how much does it take mean how long is a piece of string it really depends on how much you've learned up to now it depends on how much time and effort you're putting into practicing it depends what methods you're using to learn I've known people become you know really advanced in a very short space of time but they've also been living in a country where they are surrounded by English so it's it's almost impossible to answer that question the dark hell kills me yes it dark hell is difficult for a lot of people which is why I thought I would cover it today how do the Brits pronounce Russian names like Ivan and Vladimir there you go Ivan Ivan and Vladimir okey dokey I'm going to carry on so here we go I'm going to move on to the next sentence we have shall shall we fill the pool up so to fill up fill up these two words generally go together if you're filling something like filling a glass of water filling a bottle up we usually say up fill up fill it up I filled up my bottle with water I'm full up I can't eat anymore I'm full up so I'm telling you to fill no shall we fill the pool up shall we fill the pool up and what did I miss it's a question so I missed the question mark really important to add these points of punctuation because it really helps with the person that you're trying to communicate with it helps them to understand a lots of times my students will write to me my gold members will write in the whatsapp group and they won't put full stops commas or question marks and it makes it very difficult to understand their meaning sometimes so make sure we always add question marks if you're adding and asking a question is there a difference in pronunciation between to mull and to mull over no no difference mull it's just Mull okay shall we fill the pool up next one fill the bottle until it's full fill the bottle until it's full so for all these ELLs let's get that tongue up on the roof of the mouth fill the bottle until it's full okay then we have well-well wheel now these look exactly the same but obviously we've got our little apostrophe there well we will is the meaning so we say wheel wheel well wheel all leave later I marked these but I've marked them with a downward stroke because these are light hell's an L that appears at the beginning of a word is a light L almost every time I can't think of any exceptions always be a light L la la luck leave later not all leave all later which is dark if you're if Russian is your native language then you need to be mindful because you always do dark hell's so you need to do more light hills so make sure these are light well we'll all leave later okay so then we have the name Millie this is a girl's name Millie and this is a lighthouse mil-mil Millie Millie Millie Millie's a fool Millie's a for millions of fool for spilling if it was spill on its own this would be dark --spill --spill --spill but because we're saying spilling it becomes kind of light because we've got the ink at the end which is quite bright spilling spilling spilling and this is dark milk milk Millie's a fool for spilling milk Millie's a fool for spilling milk okay so it's a very quick touch on the dark hell I know it's a difficult one let's just go over those again so we have full pull we'll Paul mulled over the will shall we fill the pool up fill the bottle until it's full well we'll all leave a later Millie's a fool for spilling milk and then at the end I put Isle Isle Isle fully fully appreciate a like a share and a subscribe so guys if you're here with me now and you enjoy these short pronunciation
