Problem
When usually pronouncing any general form of the letter "L," the tip of your tongue exclusively stays on the roof of your palette or the back of your teeth. However, when learning about clear Ls and dark Ls, it is distinguished that both forms require two different tongue positions, respectively. Clear L requires your middle tongue in an almost upright position, while dark L requires your tongue to be in a lowered position.
From the above passage, try to state some generalizations about where "clear" L and "dark" L appear in the speech patterns. For instance, does it matter whether the L sound appears at the beginning or end of a word? And, what about the L sounds that appear in the middle of a word--is there any pattern to be seen regarding when a "clear" L may appear between two sounds, and when a "dark" L may appear between two sounds?
