My face is quite relaxed when I'm doing this This is a relaxed sound Uh, uh Basically you're opening you mouth You're opening everything, and then you're vibrating your throat It's the vibration that creates this sound in the throat Uh Without the vibration, it's just an H sound It's kind of like a vibrating H sound Uh, uh, uh Okay, so again, wide open relaxed mouth, and then vibrate in your throat Uh, uh, uh Now, it's kind of a quiet sound You can make it loud, uh, but in normal speech it's often quite a short sound We'll just say it very quickly Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh You're going to hear this sound in English constantly It's in so many words Especially in causal conversation, fast conversation we change a lot of vowel sounds to the shwa, and just say uh, uh, uh, uh Got to learn this sound Okay Let's practice it One more tip actually before we practice Sometimes I like to tell people there's a little trick if you're having trouble, if this is difficult for you Open your mouth and relax everything Then, take your fist like this, and imagine you're punching yourself in the stomach Uh Right Suddenly, air comes out Uh You vibrate your throat like someone just punched you Uh That's what I want you to imagine for making this sound You don't have to hurt yourself It's just a mental trick Let's practice some words with this sound Okay?
