The tip of your tongue should touch the gum and upper teeth, in the gap between the two front teeth. The tongue is in the same position as making the letters "D" "T" or "N", but instead of air going over the tongue, it goes on the sides of the tongue.

That's the clear /l/. In BrE, the blade of the tongue is lightly pressed against the alveolar ridge
