    "voiced constriction of the throat"... These words + pointing to the exact spot... Amen. I just heard another person spend 5 minutes trying to explain how to go about and I was left more confused.

      A weightlifting coach I follow once said something like this: natural athletes don't tend to make great coaches. Great coaches tend to be mediocre athletes who worked like hell to get as far as they did. I feel like the corollary to this is that mother-tongue speakers are (sometimes!) challenged when they attempt to *describe* how to make the most distinctive sounds of their language, while learners who've worked hard can (sometimes!) be a more linear resource on this topic for other learners. Happy to hear I helped a bit!

      Hey now, let's not contribute to the pernicious myth that Americans can't pronounce non-'Murican sounds--it does nobody any good :)

    Do you know how to say Yēshū' with the Ayin at the end ? Do you have a IG ?

      To answer in order: 1: probably yes? It sounds like it might be Hebrew, which is not a language that I speak. 2. No IG for me (at least not professionally)--I'm a dinosaur of the old school :)
