Well that one shouldn't be a problem. You know how to say "bl" (as in
"black"). Now just instead of "black" say "mlack". I'm serious - "m"
and "b" are almost the same phoneme, the trick is the same.

If that doesn't work for you there's a different approach:
The trick is to, before you say "m" (while your lips are closed),
position your tongue as if you're going to say "L" (because you *are*
going to say it). Then, as you say "m" and open up your lips, just
pull off your tongue to say "L".

Like I said, the same trick.
