Pronunciation of the word killing

I have learned that there is a dark L sound in kill, milk, etc and when it is prounced, the tip of the tounge does not touch the roof of the mouth near the front teeth.

However, when I pronunce killing, the tip of my tounge touches the roof of the mouth near the front teeth. Is it a right way of prouncing the word killing for native English speakers?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.

  • [Spelling: pronounce; pronounced; pronouncing; tongue] Your description of the pronunciation of "killing" sounds right to me.
  • I don't see a problem with that.
