The soft palate is raised. The tip of your tongue is touching the alveolar ridge, the front is slightly lowered, and the back is raised towards the soft palate.
With three days to go, it does not matter a great deal whether you produce a clear 'l' as in 'lord' or a dark 'l' as in 'all'. Some dialects use the two forms in different places anyway.

I know, right?
Is the dark l sound same as the light l sound? Is it pronounced /le/ as well?
You know, when I say the word like all, title, bottle, it sounds kind of like the /OU/ sound as in bow.
Can you briefly explain how you make the dark l sound as in 'all'?
Regards!

You made a promise not to start a new thread, I made a promise to myself not to respond to pointless follow-up questions.
I am going to keep my promise.

Meh! Whatever. I don't care anymore.
By the way, sorry for being harsh. You're actually quite a good teacher but you're too fussy or paranoid about something like thinking someone else is wasting your time. For your information, I've got many assignments to do.- -.BLEH! Anyway, dont worry. This is surely my last thread in this forum. Thank you for your explanation (even though I find it is not REALLY useful. Have a nice day!
Goodnight! hehe
