How to Make the Sound
/s/ is a voiceless fricative. /∫/ is also voiceless, but to make it different from /s/, pull the tip of your tongue slightly back and up. (It is the same sound you make when you want someone to be quiet: Shshshshshshsh!) For /t∫/, just put a /t/ in front of /∫/, and you will get a /t∫/. Work with a partner to say what these pictures are.
