The closest I can give you, lacking a visual: hold your tongue as if
you were about to pronounce "L"--like you were starting to say "La,"
and exhale as if you were starting "Hah!" All soundless, no voicing.
If done correctly, the sound you produce will make you *totally*
understand why "Ll" is often changed to "Fl" in English spellings
(Llewellyn/Flewellen).
