It is definitely just one syllable. ;) no doubt.
For knowing about syllables pls look up words in the oxford dictionary and notice to the dots that are exist between some letters of more than one syllable words.
for example a word like potential is written this way in oxford dictionary:
- po.ten.tial this means this word has 3 syllables.
- words like small which has no dot is a one syllable word.
I hope this could help you.

samad,
A good question.
The English L at the beginning or in the middle of a word is no problem.
English L at the end of the word is a longer sound and can be difficult for non-native speakers.
-At the beginning of a word short L
left
lee
law
-In the middle of a word short L
belly
caller
alone
At the end of a word L is really a semi-vowel. The L sound is held longer.
fill.....filll
sale....sallll
small...smallll....
The L sound in a word such as "small" is really a combination of two sounds, the schwa ə and the L. For the sake of pronunciation it can be considered to have TWO syllables.
sma ə l
sa ə l
fi ə l
The L sound at the end of a word in a sentence is often connected to the following sound, which makes it easier to pronounce.
I will call on you next week.
I will kälän you next week.

It's one syllable to me, although to a Japanese it could be three (スモール).
