l		The French 'l' is similar to the 'l' in English "with Lee". The tongue tip usually touches the back of the upper teeth. It is also a so-called "clear" l: in other words, you don't raise the back of your tongue as you pronounce the French 'l', as occurs in some cases in English.
a		The French 'a' vowel is pronounced with the tongue far forward in the mouth and the mouth quite wide open, but not quite as open as for a typical English 'a' vowel.
n		The French 'n' sound is similar to the 'n' of English "tenth", i.e. pronounced with the tip of the tongue touching the upper teeth.
ɥ		This is a sound that has no near equivalent in English. To pronounce it, you "glide" rapidly from a French 'u' vowel to the following vowel. Be careful not to pronounce this sound as an English "w" sound. The two are different: in this French sound, you start on a French 'u' sound (and not a French 'ou' sound or English 'oo' sound).
i		The French 'i' vowel is pronounced with the tongue almost as far forward and close to the roof of the mouth as it will go and with the lips spread. Aim to "tense" your lips for a moment as you pronounce it.
