One website I went to says to sound "l" like "th" except with the tongue on the Alveolar Ridge instead of behind my front teeth. But when I try that, it sounds like some strange combination of r and th. Plus I can't even pronounce my own name like that ("lawrenzo". That combination of "l" and "r" is impossible when I try to pronounce 'l' the proper way).
