Is there a dark L or a light L in the word, really? That is the most difficult English word I pronounce. Or dark L -> light L?
Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.
It varies from speaker to speaker and where the syllable division is made. For those who make the break after the /l/, it tends to be dark; for those who make the break before the /l/ it tends to be light.
For some speakers the word can rhyme with 'freely', for some with 'frilly'.

Thank you so much and what about you? When you pronounce it, the tip of your tongue touches the alveolar ridge in the /l/,or not?
