The /ʒ/ sound (shj Sound)

Explination

How to Pronounce it.

To produce the sound Clench your teeth together lightly and pull your tongue away from them. Then push air though them, whilst voicing out.

The ʒ sound is from the ‘Consonants Pairs’ group and it is called the ‘Voiced palato-alveolar sibilant’. This means that you create friction through clenched teeth by directing air flow through a narrow channel formed along the middle of the tongue

Common Problems for non-native speakers

Many teachers don't teach the phoneme /ʒ/ explicitly in the belief that students will imitate the teacher. However most Spanish speakers can't hear the difference between /ʒ/ and /ʃ/ and they are not aware that vision /ˈvɪʒən/ and mission /ˈmɪʃən/ don't rhyme.
