R vs L is a high-impact contrast that can change meaning and is especially important for intelligibility in names, directions, and common vocabulary. In this topic, you’ll practice keeping R with the tongue pulled back (without touching the teeth) and L with the tongue tip touching near the front of the mouth. Try to keep the vowel steady so you can feel the consonant difference clearly. Repeat until speech recognition stops confusing pairs like right and light.
