Finally, we will activate your ability to hear and produce the / ʃ / and / ʒ / sounds correctly. The / ʃ / and / ʒ / sounds are palato-alveolar fricatives made by disrupting the air flow by bunching up the tongue against the roof of the mouth. The / ʃ / sound on the chart is shown in blue, which means it is unvoiced, while the / ʒ / sound is shown in green, which means that it is voiced.
