to be a lady with a low voice.

[l]

Distinguish the 'clear' [l] and the 'dark' [*]. The 'clear' [l] is a bit palatal but do not make it as palatal as the Russian palatal

[Л'] like in «Лиза». Mind that in English the 'clear' [1] should sound before any vowel: front, mixed or central and back, whereas in

Russian the palatal [Л'] is found only before front and central vowels. So in the word look [1] is palatal ('clear') and in the Russian word

лук [Л] should be hard (твердое). But before [j], when preceded by a front vowel, [l] should be very palatal: \will you [\wil ju]. (Cf. \fool

you [\fu:t ju:]. The 'dark' [t] should sound at the end of a word and before a consonant. The 'dark' is used despite the following [j]

because [l] is preceded by [u:], a b a c k vowel.

him," she said clasping her hands. 4. You will protect me, general, will you not?

[d]

Avoid making [d] strong: it should be a weak consonant. To make it weak do not press the tongue to the teeth ridge too hard using

only the very tip of the tongue. Do not aspirate it before a vowel. In the word final position devoice the very end of the consonant but

do not make its voiceless part strong or aspirated. Let the voiced part of the final [d] be much longer than its final voiceless part. Do

not devoice the final [d] completely like we do in Russian. Do not make the final [d] fully voiced and strong with the addition of an

unnecessary vowel [э].

[z, v ] i n t h e W o r d F i n a l P o s i t i o n

Neither devoice the final [z, v] completely nor make them fully voiced. Devoice only the very end of the consonants and let the de-

voiced part sound weak.
