A Question about English Pronunciation
I have a problem with English pronunciation. I can't pronounce "l" very well.
For example, when I say "How about the lids", people think I am discussing needs. When it comes to "light" and "night", it would be even worse.
I think it's because of my Chinese accent. I was born in central China, where people usually don't distinguish between "n" and "l", even my primary school Chinese teacher. Later, my Mandarin improved a lot. But when it comes to English, I still couldn't consciously pronounce "n" and "l" separately.
My question is, how can I improve my pronunciation of "l"?
I noticed it's a problem with 'l', not 'n' because my AI assistant always recognizes my pronunciation of "l" as "n".

Put only the very tip of your tongue right behind your front top teeth (not touching the teeth, just touching the roof of your mouth behind the teeth). Now say "l" while keeping your tongue in that exact position.

A Question about English Pronunciation
I have a problem with my English pronunciation.
I can't pronounce "lL" very well.
Using a capital “L” is clearer for readers whose browsers use a font in which the lowercase “l” looks like a capital “I”.
For example, when I say, "How about the lids?", people think I am discussing needs.
In addition to the “L” in “lids,” you might also need to work on the “i”, since it should be pronounced differently than the “ee” in “needs.”
When it comes to "light" and "night", it would beis even worse.
I think it's because of my Chinese accent.
I was born in central China, where people usually don't distinguish between "n" and "l", not even my primary school Chinese teacher.
Did you grow up speaking a 方言? If so, which one? (If this question is too personal, please ignore it.)
Later, my Mandarin improved a lot.
But when it comes to English, I still couldan't consciously pronounce "n" and "l" separatedifferently.
My question is, how can I improve my pronunciation of "l"?
I noticed it's a problem with 'l', not 'n' because my AI assistant always recognizes my pronunciation of "l" as "n".
Feedback
To me, the main difference between “L” and “N” is that, with “L”, the air comes out through my mouth, whereas with “N” it comes out through my nose. With “L”, the tip of my tongue is on something called the alveolar ridge, whereas it’s closer to my front teeth with “N”.
I searched for websites that discuss this topic and found this one. Perhaps it might be helpful:

I have heard that "L" is a difficult sound to pronounce for people in Asian countries. I did not know that "N" was similar, though. I recommend looking up diagrams that show where the tongue is positioned in the mouth and trying to copy that.

I think that a lot of listening and repeating words that have the "i" sound could help build the muscle memory for your mouth. You can do it!

Great work! I would suggest you try to say the word slowly and enunciate it more. You could also try the shadowing method with words that begin with "l". This means that listen to English speakers say words that begin with "l" and repeat them after. Also, try recording yourself and hearing your pronunciation.

Thank you! I'll try the method you said.
Have a nice weekend!
