    Well... as you know, japanese usually don't pronounce the L sound. I mean, in fact, it doesn't exist in Hiragana. However... as japan is being very influenced by the american and western culture in general they often prounounce the R as L [in songs] (generally)... I don't know why.. maybe they think it's softier or prettier. As for the G and N/M, my japanese teacher (who is, in fact, japanese) said that it's more polite to speak the G sound softly, making it similar to an N sound (but not that, exactly). She also said many people can't do that sound anymore, or just don't (it's very "traditional"). That's it!

     I'm a beginner too. But I already know hiragana, katakana and a bit of kanji. Actually, I started studying last year, but I'm not fluent or anything. I just wanted to. Specially to learn verbs, vocabulary and stuff. If there's anyone willing to help.. please tell me.

    Well... as japanese is written in hiragana (and not in romaji) you'll always know. If you don't know how to write the word, pay attention to the pronunciation: in 金色 (kiniro), the n sound is held for a considerable time, almost causing a small "pause" in your speech, while in "あなた" (anata) there isn't this kind of thing.
