A Question about English Pronunciation

I have a problem with English pronunciation. I can't pronounce "l" very well.

For example, when I say "How about the lids", people think I am discussing needs. When it comes to "light" and "night", it would be even worse.

I think it's because of my Chinese accent. I was born in central China, where people usually don't distinguish between "n" and "l", even my primary school Chinese teacher. Later, my Mandarin improved a lot. But when it comes to English, I still couldn't consciously pronounce "n" and "l" separately.

My question is, how can I improve my pronunciation of "l"?

I noticed it's a problem with 'l', not 'n' because my AI assistant always recognizes my pronunciation of "l" as "n".
