I'm not saying WHEEL, I'm saying WULL.
It's basically two sounds, the W,
and the dark part of the dark L.
To start, the lips are in a tight circle,
and I'm sort of holding, then,
releasing the air in my throat.
My lips will relax out of the circle.
My tongue tip, which was touching the back of
the bottom front teeth for the W, stays there.
stretches back a bit, making that dark sound.
For the S, my teeth come together, and the
corners of the lips might pull a little wide.

touching the back of the bottom front teeth.
and the front part of the tongue
reaches towards the roof of the mouth.
See, see. We'll see, we'll see.
