Sound

How to make this sound

Sound

is a consonant made by almost closing the teeth together. The lips are pushed forward. Lift the tongue tip slightly toward the roof of the mouth and allow the sides of the tongue to touch the inside edge of the side teeth. Blow air out over the tip of the tongue. It is the sound we make when telling someone to be quiet. "Shhhhhh !" This is an unvoiced sound.

SHOWER SH- turns into an S if you move the tongue forward.
