How to Say the SH Sound
Introduction to the SH Sound
- Meredith introduces herself as a speech-language pathologist and outlines her goal of teaching how to pronounce the SH sound.
- She describes the anatomical parts involved in producing the sound, including top and bottom teeth, alveolar ridge, and back molars.
Tongue Positioning for SH Sound
- To create the SH sound, lift your tongue so that its sides touch the backsides of your teeth while pulling the tip back slightly.
- A helpful trick is to whisper the E sound and then round your lips to transition into making the SH sound.
Practice Techniques
- Viewers are encouraged to practice saying "Shh" ten times by following along with visual prompts displayed on screen.
Key Reminders for Pronunciation
- Important aspects of pronunciation include keeping tongue sides up, pulling back the tip slightly from the alveolar ridge, and rounding lips.
- A chant is introduced: "Sides up, tip back, lips round," which serves as a mnemonic device for practicing pronunciation.
