I am an adult who has watched a ton of videos and tried all the tricks to say the “sh” sound (with so much frustration) properly and until you said to curve your tongue and I saw the visual, I did not get it. This really helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the tips. While I've somewhat corrected my lateral lisp, I feel hard to talk in a normal flow and I've noticed large amount of saliva accumulating in my mouth. I have feel heavy manuvering my tongue. My brain finds it hard to place my tongue in the correct position. Could you please help? Thank you
@@alinoorie6957 Two points to focus on The first exercises the muscles of the tongue and leave the wrong habits Wrong habits such as eating on the side that leaks air and saliva, you should eat on the other side so as not to increase the problem, and also try to leave your tongue straight most of the time The exercises focus on the sides and tip of the tongue, especially the weak side that leaks air I have a question, are your dentures incorrect? Especially with the sides? I am writing through Google Translator, so excuse me if there are any mistakes
@@omaralatawi2675 thanks Omar. I tend to chew from my right more as I am righty. My dentures are correct as I've checked with my dentist. My main 2 issues are excessive saliva formulation and feeling tongue heavy with confusion where to place my tongue while saying words with S, Z, J, G while S being the most problematic letter.
@@alinoorie6957 The tongue is often heavy due to muscle atrophy or weakness Vigorous exercise can free your tongue and make it flexible and lighter And your problem with the letter g is a weakness in the middle of the tongue because you can't press it to get the g. Makes a sound similar to the letter S As for saliva, I think it is just a belief that the nose or the almonds may have a role or a secondary reason for that. Do you have a problem with the letter R?
whoa. I have no clue how to realize /sh/ without lateralizing it /lsh/, /s/ is perfectly fine but it's like I can only produce /s/ and /t/ etc. with air going straight through. maybe it sounds like a correct /sh/ to others but it's always been hard for me to hear and feel it
I do also have an open bite though all the way up to my wisdom teeth on the left side, which certainly affects how I speak. I remember in speech classes how the slp couldn't ever get me to make not slushy /sh/ /ch/ although /s/ was fine. I only recently learned about the lateral lisp

I think that strengthening the tongue muscles is the most important stage before starting the letter pronunciation exercises
@@omaralatawi2675 can you please recommend some exercises? Thanks
