when you put your tongue on top do you place it behind your front teeth? or the top of your gum?

[thespeechpathway]

@z0oyorker touch tip "lightly" to alveolar ridge. Should be light enough that it lets air get by it to form a stream of air that hits the front teeth creating the /s/ sound. Hope that helps.

hi.how about a video for hypernasality.i am 35 years old and my cleft palate was just operated 2 years ago and i realy wana talk clearly so i can hav a social life and a career.pls. help.

[thespeechpathway]

@dazzledamsel hi Dazzle-Cleft can be much trickier. Eventhough you had a surgery, it does not always fix the problem the first time around. If you are physically unable to make velopharyngeal closure-no amount of therapy would help. If you do decide to work with an SLP be sure and find one who specializes in working specifically with cleft palate clients.

im 25 and still have a lisp

is it ever to late to work on it and get rid of it?

[thespeechpathway]

@Waderoberthiggins It does get harder as you get older but if you are motivated you can make a difference. A little bit of practice each day goes a long way.

[willzurmacht]

I have the s problem. Dunno why :(

[SuicideBee]

So, I don't have the lisp. I have the other one. I think it's called like.. A diagnol s? Something like that. But it sucks and i'm so insecure that I hardly ever talk to people. Everytime I try a speech therapy excersise it makes me have a lisp. I don't want a lisp either. I just want to sound normal.

[spyshocker]

Really helped,thank you

Where is the alveolar ridge?

[j2ching]

Hello - I don’t have a lisp, but I don't think I’m very articulate. Would it be possible for you to give me something to say, and I’ll record it, and you tell me if I have any problems? I’ll find a site to put the recording and everything.

[MethTurd]

I have a lateral lisp, this video was very helpful. I got the "s" sound no problem, no air escaping from the sides etc, but how do I apply it to actual speech because words sound weird when I do, kinda like a gay lisp, and I accidentally fall back into the lateral lisp sometimes

[Rurx25]

I'm 17 and I think I have a lateral lisp. It isn't super noticeable but it makes me hard to understand sometimes and people ask me to repeat myself sometimes. How do I get rid of it?

[ApothakarY]

i need help with it, i had a high rack in my mouth for my braces, and i just got it removed, and i cant say my S's anymore, when i say the S sound, it doesnt sound like SSsssss, or Thhhh, but more like Shhhhhh, and when i say "So" , it sound like im saying "Show", and i cant figure it out..

[pkf0rtzh4arutube]
