　　You and I are going to read with our tongues firmly held at the roofs of our mouths.

　　If you want, hold a clean dime¹ there with the tongue's tip;

　　the dime will let you know when you have dropped your tongue because it will fall out.

　　(Do not use candy; it will hold itself there since wet candy is sticky.)

　　If you prefer, you can read with your tongue between your teeth instead of the standard behind-the-teeth position, and use a small mirror.

　　Remember that with this technique you can actually see your tongue disappear as you hear your L sounds drop off.

　　It's going to sound ridiculous, of course, and nobody would ever intentionally² sound like this,

　　but no one will hear you practice.

　　You don't want to sound like this:

　　lllllllllll.

　　Force your tongue to make all the various vowels³ in spite⁴ of its position.

　　Let's go.

　　Leave a little for Lola!
