When you pronounce "examples" does your tongue touches the bank behind your upper teeth?
Thanks.

EDIT: bank should be 'bump' or 'area'

Yes. The touching makes the L. Not touching is going to make an R.

When I say 'example' it's okay but 'examples' it's a bit difficult for me. I don't want to be misunderstood so I'll practice!!!

Hi,
does your tongue touches the bank behind your upper teeth?

Perhaps you are thinking of the idiom, 'Put your money where your mouth is'? big smile

If you can say "pulls", you've almost got it.

It sounds similar to exam-pulls.
