Help with ‘ra’ and ‘ri’ duolingo

These characters respectively sound more like la (ra) and li (ri) , is this the case? Or are my ears off?

Is there a reason why it writes it as RA and RI , and not as LA and LI?

( I wanted to show images which contain the characters Im referring to, but this sub does not accept images. )
