Learn English Stories: Ring Bells

Use these stories to practice L and R sounds. Remember that middle and last L sounds in American English are smaller. For the R sound, remember that we do not trill it. It is a flat sound we make by putting the sides of our tongue into a small U-shape. The tongue is a little tight. The back of the throat is a little tight also. We pronounce all R sounds: beginning, middle, end.

The words with R are in bold print. The words with L are underlined.
