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.

Conclusion and Additional Resources

  • Meredith thanks viewers for watching and suggests replaying the video for additional practice.
