The pronunciation of 'really'

Is there a dark L or a light L in the word, really? And could you explain how to pronounce the word? That is the most difficult English word I pronounce. Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

Thank you and it really helps and if you do not mind, could you tell the l is a dark l or light l? I think it is a light l.

I learn something new here all the time. I've never heard of "dark L" and "light L" before.

Thank you so much and when you say, "really", do you raise the tip of the tongue and the alveolar ridge in "L" like "light", "leave", and so on.

Anonymouscould you tell the l is a dark l or light l?
I find that the closer the "l" is to the beginning of a word, the more likely it is to be light. (lip, less, loose, live)
The closer it is to the end, the more likely it is to be dark. (bell, hill, feel, ale)

This one (really) is in the middle, and I'm not certain I hear
