in order to pronounce them correctly, it sounds like your tongue has to touch the top of the inside of the mouth, is my observation correct?

I remember learning that in school and I was frustrated because I always messed up haha, but now I have it. 少し難しい。Nice explanation

So how would you pronounce L?!

[chelbaproductions]

@geekmallot there isn't an L sound in Japanese. The ra, ri, ru, re, and ro sounds are as close as you get.
