 L
Common digraphs include LL, which has a value identical to L in English but has the separate value voiceless alveolar lateral fricative in Welsh, where it can appear in an initial position.
In English, L can have several values, depending on whether it occurs before or after a vowel.
This velarization does not occur in many European languages that use L, and is also a factor making L difficult to pronounce for users of languages such as Japanese or Chinese that either lack or have different values for L. L can occur before almost any plosive, fricative, or affricate in English.

 Velarized alveolar lateral approximant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The velarized alveolar lateral approximant, which may actually be uvularized or pharyngealized, also known as dark el, is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
In many accents of English, including Received Pronunciation, the velarized lateral alveolar approximant occurs in syllable coda position, as in bell and milk.
In syllable onset position, however, the non-velarized or "plain" alveolar lateral approximant is found.

 Lateral consonant
English has a Lateral approximant phoneme, which in many accents has two allophones.
Rarer Lateral consonants include the sound of Welsh ll, which is the voiceless alveolar Lateral fricative, and the retroflex laterals as can be found in Most Hindustani languages.
The Italian gli and Spanish ll (in some accents) are the palatal Lateral approximant, which is present as well in these languages: Catalan ll, French ill- (in some dialects), Portuguese lh, Quechua ll.

 Phonetics and Phonology
Velum opening is optional for approximants except in languages where there is a phonemic distinction between nasalised and non-nasalised approximants.
In other words the active articulator is moved towards the passive articulator but is prevented from moving so close that frication occurs.
In Australian English the state of the velum is dependent upon phonetic context (open next to nasal stops, and closed next to oral stops, for example).

 How do you pronounce your L's? Antimoon Forum
So at least the vocalized l should be easy to distinguish: if the tip of your tongue doesn't touch the alveolar ridge when you say these words for example: hell, nelly, lap, girl..
- The standard British pronunciation is alveolar at the beginning of syllables and velar at the end - in the word "loll", the first L is alveolar and the second one is velar.
I think my normal /l/ may be slightly velarized in some cases but I still mark it as [l], while using [5] for the appropriate "dark" context because there is a clear contrast there, [5] being much more velarized--definitely not the same as [l], even if the latter has some degree of velarization going on.
