If you keep in mind three rules, you won't be wrong.^^/ 1.when words end with 'ㄹ', it sounds like /l/ like 물, 입술 2.when 'ㄹ'comes together in a row, it also sounds like /l/ like 걸리다,열리다 3.when followed by vowels, it sounds like /r/ like 드라마,라디오 In my experience, most Chinese feel it difficult when used as patchim. (A Hongkong friend of mine still pronounces "일요일(i-ryo-iL)-星期天,hari Ahad,Sunday" as "이료이(i-ryo-i)" >,<) Please check the audio clips out above. (audio clips from http://www.koreanwikiproject.com) \^o^/
