@7MPhonemicEnglish. Thank you for pointing out a significant oversight in the earlier version of this video!!! I have added a correction on screen :-)) I would have hated for this video to be out there with that mistake!!
Excellent video as always! I have struggled with a lisp most of my life. Based on the info in this video-lesson, I now understand that for the most part, I had a lateral lisp. Overtime, I have managed to contain (if not remedy) it. But to my ears, I still feel that there are remnants of the lisp that show up on certain words. I followed along with the word and sentence read-outs as you suggested and I could distinctly feel that air-passage being slightly compromised on some words (especially those where the lips and cheeks are laterally stretched such as "Say" or "Sake" or "Sense".) But in other cases where there are other consonants in quick succession like "Swim' or "Scam") the airflow is more controlled. I will have to internalize the mechanics of enunciation using the tips you shared. Thanks again.
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your own experience!! Successfully changing a speech pattern can be difficult and requires consiatent, mindful practice and effort! Kudos to you for being able to achieve that!!! 👏👏👏👏
