I'm a speech language pathologist, and today I'm gonna show you how to say the Z sound, zzz.

我是一名語言病理學家，今天我要教你們如何說 Z 音，zzz。

When you say your Z sound, your tongue tip is gonna be behind your teeth, and your voice is going to be on, air is gonna come straight out, and it's gonna sound like this, zzz.

當你發 Z 音時，舌尖要放在牙齒後面，聲音要開闊，空氣要直接噴出，聽起來就像這樣，zzz。

This bumpy section behind your front teeth, this is called your alveolar ridge.

門牙後面凹凸不平的部分叫做牙槽嵴。

That's a good starting point for your tongue when you're learning to say the Z sound.

這是你學說 Z 音時舌頭的一個很好的起點。

So put your tongue up here and feel those bumps.

把舌頭伸到這裡，感受這些凸起。

The backsides of your tongue are gonna be up too.

你的舌頭背面也會翹起來。

Your teeth are gonna be really close like this, and you're gonna turn your voice on, and air is gonna go straight forward, zzz.

你的牙齒要像這樣緊緊地咬住 你要把聲音打開 空氣會向前直流，"嗞"。

Some people call Z the buzzing sound, zzz, because it sounds like bees buzzing, buzz.
