Spanish "L" is a little different from the English "L". In Spanish, the "L" sounds more like the German "L".
Also, Spanish "QU" sounds like "K".
The main difference between Spanish and English is that we have just 5 sounds for vowels, we don’t have long or short vowels and of course we pronounce every vowel in a word with its distinctive sound, not like e.g. "seam" in English, that sounds like a long Spanish "i".
