Help[Opinions] That's what I thought!
in reply to a message by sunshine-babe
I was staring at that pronunciation thinking, "Woah, that L's not right!" but I'm just a first-year German student, and I don't know about an 'old German'.

Hmmm
I have been saying R further and further back in my mouth all today and eventually it sounds a lot like L
My teacher is a native German, I dunno where he's from in Germany, so I dunno if it's dialectal or something. But it is definitely an R that could be confused with an L. I have been listening intently and he has definitely been saying something that sounds like an L. Probably super-guttural R. I remember paying extra special attention when he said Diederich and thinking "Oh man that is funny because it has Deedle in it why does it have deedle"
So I dunno! I am going to listen to him very hard.
