Stretch your lips as if you were smiling and put the tip of your tongue slightly behind your fore teeth bent slightly backwards. Then try to say
-ль like in Рамиль
Your accent will go away only if you have
_ a lot of everyday practice in speaking and listening (several years at least). Actually I've never met a forei
gner who would speak without an accent (even though a light one).
But don't worry. You will be understood even with a heavy accent. Pronounciation is important, of course, but not
as much you say. Russian is not, by any means, like Chinese or Japanese. Actually, accent will be unnoticed if you form your sentences correctly and use correct word forms, cases and endings (a scourge for all learning Russian).
We do have many people here from the republics of the former USSR who speak with awful accents but use correct grammar so we got used to that. You will give your foreign origins away only if you make
grammar mistakes typical for westerners
