I imagine you are actually pronouncing an L but you just aren't tracking the movement of your tongue properly.
Sorry, I trust the hundreds of years of Phonetic science than some random off the internet.

well -- I realized the similarity between L and W when I was trying to learn how to pronounce "salad" in English properly (used to be a mighty hard word for me), and I was told that the version with the Russian hard L sounds quite like W.Quote:

However we were talking about Russian Л.
Во всяком случае, я произношу это имя так:
koh vuh lev
лол, это из-за того, что я не русский.
А я ваще не произношу эту фамилию, так как у меня нет и не было знакомых с такой фамилией!!!Quote:
