Been 中的元音,我一直认为是发长音/i:/,但应该是发短音/i/.

\'l\'在词尾及音节末时,其发音方式同\'l\'在词首及元音前的发音方式一样,发音位置不变,只是把舌前部上抬,舌尖抵住上齿龈,注意嘴唇要保持不变,尽量不要随着l的发音变小(Your comments are welcome)。
I\'ve recently listened to the audios of a DVD recording from the pronounciation training program by Paul Gruber (http://www.pronunciationworkshop.com/)
Two points stood out in my mind, one is the pronunciaiton of the word been, the other is the pronunciation of sound L.
Been should be sounded as /bin/ based on Paul and it seems like this from the dictionary, but I thought that it was sounded as /bi:n/。 What do you think this word should be labled, /bin/ or /bi:n/ ?
For the sound of l at the end of a word, the pronuncition manner is the same as when sounding l at the beginning of a word, but rise up the tip of the tongue and put behind your top teeth, the mouth(lips) positions remain unchanged.
Manner when sounding l at the beginning of a word:
Mouth should be wide open;
Jaw should be down.
Tongue should rise up and push behind your top teeth.
