Handout p. 167 - Look at the mouth drawing for /l/ and /r/.
/l/ - The tip of the tongue is in the same place you put it for /t/ and /n/, but the sides are away from the sides of your mouth.
	/n/ -> /l/: pull the sides of your tongue toward the center
/r/ - The tip of the tongue is pulled away from the roof of your mouth, but the sides stay where they are for /t/ and /n/.
	/n/ -> /r/: pull the tip of your tongue back in your mouth
   - The lips are usually rounded for /r/ in English
