I have noticed that also. My friend Reiko was teaching us how to pronounce her first name correctly. When she said it very slowly and clearly the "r" sounded like an "l", To me it sounded as if she said "leiko". I think i can remember my friend Naomi saying she had trouble hearing the difference between her "l's" and "r's". Anyway, even with years of practice (they have had about 8 years each), they still have a hard time differentiating some of their sounds (Reiko was clear, Naomi was sometimes barely understandable). ____________________________________________________________________ "Raw to the floor like reservoir dogs" - A.V.
