QUESTION:

How do i get better at pronouncing r’s and l’s


My pronunciation of r’s and l’s is the same - for example, I pronounce lot and rot the same. English is my first (and only) language. When listening, i have no problems distinguishing between the two. No problems with writing either. Only with pronunciation. How do I become better at pronouncing those sounds?

This problem makes me much more self conscious in conversations - I often try to use word that don’t have r’s or l’s - i.e.: I might use ‘baby sheep’, instead of lamb. That isn’t especially effective because I usually can’t think of a synonym on the fly like that.

My parents are not native speakers, so i wasn’t exposed to those sounds at a early age. This must be the cause of the problem (but knowing that doesn’t help me with a solution)
