Question about Spanish (Spain)
1) How do you pronounce the "l" and "r" part of "el regalo"? I am having a hard time saying this lol.
Is the "l" pronounced like /elregalo/, or does it turn into an "r" like /erregalo/?
2) Do you pronounce the "j" in "reloj", or is it silent?

@josemisantos @GuimFolch @christinafernandez09 where/how do you place your tongue for the "l" and "r"? I have trouble making the transition from the "l" sound to the hard "r" sound lol...
When I say it slowly, I can pronounce it, but when I try to say it at normal speed, I can't lol

when you say "L" its the same placement as in English (towards the front of the roof of your mouth near your teeth). you leave your tongue there for the duration of saying "L". when you say "r", the tongue is placed more towards the back, and rather than leaving the tongue on the roof, you just tap the roof with the tongue. r and all are very similar spinds, so I think the amount of time the tongue is left touching the roof is important.

Here is a recording of me trying to say it at a somewhat normal speed lol. I've been trying to practice it a lot lol. Please be honest and tell me if it sounds natural or not. Or do I have to make it a more hard "r" sound?

@christinafernandez09 Also, thank you for your detailed explanation! I didn't know that you place your tongue more at the back for the "r" sound. Your explanation really helps!
