Lessons Unit 1, lesson 37

ʃ as in shop

One consonant, on its own page. Hear it, watch where it sits in each word's sheet, then say the words yourself.

ʃthe sh in shop

Push your lips forward, pull the tongue slightly back, and let air hiss: shhh — the quiet-please sound.

ˈʃ sh ɑː o p p
shop
ʃ sh e
she
ˈʃ sh ow
show
ˈf f ɪ i ʃ sh
fish

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

ˈʃ sh ɛ e l ll
shell
ˈʃ sh ɪ i p p
ship
ˈw w ɑː a ʃ sh
wash
ˈʃ sh o e
shoe
ˈp p ʊ u ʃ sh
push
ˈʃ sh i n n e
shine
