How to make it
- Put the tip of your tongue lightly between your top and bottom teeth, or just behind the top teeth.
- Blow air gently over the tongue. Your voice stays off — no buzz.
- Keep your tongue relaxed; it should not press hard.
Common mistake
Replacing it with "s", "t" or "f": "sink", "tink" or "fink" for "think". Check that your tongue tip is touching your teeth.
