I'm Scottish so my L sounds are bad anyway but I somehow get by.

I remember my ex girlfriend always said she thought it was cute how I said my L sounds. Even when she showed me how to do it, my tongue didn't want to move in that direction and I couldn't do it. I definitely find the Japanese らりるれろ sounds (they sound closer to L sounds than R sounds in my opinion) easier than the English L sound as it's a completely different tongue movement as far as I can tell.

Also let's hope my Japanese らりるれろ is okay. Luckily I was pleased at a Japanese casual evening I went to a week or two ago when I was told my pronunciation was good.
