  • In this American English pronunciation video,

  • we're going to learn how to make the S and Z consonant sounds.

  • These two sounds are paired together because they take the same mouth position.

  • S is unvoiced, meaning only air passes through the mouth.

  • And Z is voiced, meaning, you make a sound with the vocal cords, Zz.

  • To make the sounds, the lips part and the corners pull back a little

  • while the teeth themselves likely touch.

  • Sss--, Zzz--

  • There are two ways to make these sounds.

  • One, with the tip of the tongue down, lightly touching the back of the bottom front teeth.

  • Or by pointing the tip of the tongue up.

  • You may find that the position of the tongue tip

  • depends on the sounds around the S and Z.

  • Let's look at these sounds up close and in slow motion.

  • The teeth lightly touch, tongue tip is down

  • and you can see a lot of tongue through the teeth.

  • Sit. Again, teeth lightly touch, the tongue tip is pointed down.

  • Miss. The tongue tip stays down as the teeth come together.

  • Fizz. This time, you'll see the tongue tip point up before the teeth close, and up.

  • The S and Z sounds.

  • Sip

  • Miss

  • Fizz

  • Example words. Repeat with me:

  • Note, the letter S can make the Z sound.

  • Some. Ss-- Some.

  • Must. Ss-- Must.

  • Less. Ss-- Less.

  • Zip. Zz-- Zip.

  • Cousin. Zz-- Cousin.

  • Easy. Zz-- Easy.

  • This video is one of 36 in a new series, The Sounds of American English.

  • Videos in this set will be released here on YouTube twice a month, first and third Thursdays, in 2016 and 2017.

  • But the whole set can be all yours right now.

  • The real value of these videos is watching them as a set, as a whole,

  • to give your mind the time to take it all in and get the bigger picture.

  • Most of the materials you'll find elsewhere just teach the sounds on their own in isolation.

  • It's a mistake to learn them this way.

  • We learn the sounds to speak words and sentences, not just sounds.
