Pronunciation of the word real and really

[Hansman]

I know that L in the word real is a dark L and then I was wondering if L in the word really, [real +ly] is a dark L or light L?
There are two Ls in the word really and I can see the second L, -ly is a light L, but I am not sure about the first L in the word really.

Don't confuse sounds with letters. Letters are for writing language and sounds are for speaking it. There's only one /l/ sound in the word 'really', and I suggest you try to pronounce it as a light /l/.

I know that L in the word real is a dark L, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE L in the word really, [real +ly]?
