I'm still struggling to learn the Japanese "R/L" sound.
There's all that stuff with tongue rolling and all, but that's not my main question today.

The certain thing that's bothered me for a while now that some tutorials do not mention is whether I (as an EN speaker) should be attempting to say R or L or something else entirely when practicing my Japanese "R/L"s sounds

(as other tutorials mention, some hybrid between D and L because the JPN L/R is almost one and the same unique L/R)

What should I be trying going for?

Update: Misunderstood. Ancer's brain is no in a good shape after an exam.

Some people say it in R and sometimes L. It might not be mentioned due to the fact that some japanese people uses L instead of R.

Ancer's probably not good advice of the day is: Do not worry, just pronounce it the way you want
