hello guys my name is fanny
welcome to this english pronunciation
video
in this video we are going to focus
on two very important consonant sounds
the sounds
now i know they may sound similar to you
but they are actually quite different
and they are
very important in english so i want you
to hear the difference
and to be able to pronounce them
correctly
let's start with two example words
the first word would be the word
c can you hear the s sound
c the second word
is she now the sound is very different
it's a sh sound she
so see
she can you hear the difference
well if you can't hear the difference i
promise you by the end of this video

you will be able to hear it and you will
pronounce them correctly

make this
and sh sounds in english
of course it's very important for you to
know the ipa
spelling it helps also you can watch how
i move my mouth
and always repeat after me you can do
this guys
let's do it together let's practice
making
the s sound in english so
it's unvoiced no vibration in your
throat
you don't use your voice you're simply
going to release
some air your mouth should not move
your tongue is going to go against
your bottom teeth okay and your teeth
are actually going to touch each other
and you're going to release
some air so
please repeat after me watch my mouth
let's practice with the word see
see
good let's now practice making the
sh sound in english it's also
unvoiced and this time your mouth
is going to be rounded and it's going to
come out
your tongue is going to be down okay and
your teeth
are definitely not going to touch each
other okay and you're going to release
some air please repeat after
me
let's practice with the word she
please repeat after me she
she

to hear the difference between the two
sounds

you to
watch my mouth how it moves and to
repeat after me
