He asks about how to say the letter L at the end of a word (the Dark L) and how to say 'oo' in words (the OO Vowel Sound).Tune in for the answers I gave Jonathan, and I recommend you also try out saying the words I mentioned.Don't forget to send me in those questions at https://aussieenglish.com.au/askpeteWe also get on a story about rattlesnakes hanging out in aeroplane wheels!
