The document discusses the differences between light and dark /l/ sounds, and /r/ sounds, in English. There are two types of /l/ sounds - light /l/ has the tongue tip behind the top teeth, while dark /l/ has the tongue tip further back. /r/ is similar to dark /l/ but the tongue should not touch the roof of the mouth. Examples are provided to demonstrate the different sounds in words.
![There are two [l] sounds in English.
The [l] is light if it comes before the

open lips.
