The front part of the tongue arches up.
This is the IH vowel.
Watch as the tongue tip goes to the roof of the mouth.
Now, of course you can't see it, but the back part of the pulls away and back to make the dark L sound, uul.
And the tongue tip comes back down at the end of the word.
Let's watch again.
This word is very common in the phrase 'a little bit', where we have the schwa before, and the stressed syllable 'bit' after.
The T at the end of 'bit' is going to be a Stop T, if the sentence ends there or if the next word begins with a consonant: >> Are you tired?
>> A little bit or >> I'm a little bit frustrated.
Those were both stop Ts, bit, where we don't, tt, make the final release, but just cut off the air for an abrupt stop.
A little bit.
The 't' at the end of 'bit' will be a Flap T if it's not the end of the sentence and the next word begins with a vowel or diphthong.
For example: >> Tell me a little bit about that.
Bit-a-bout, bit about.
Bit-a-, bit-a-, bit-a-.
Here it's a flap, which sounds like the D between vowels in American English, and might sound like the R in your own native language.
Bit a-, bit-a, bit-a, bit about.
I hope this has given you an idea of how to practice this word.
It's a very common word, so practice it a lot and get comfortable with it.
