How to make the sound
Raise the back of your tongue to the soft palate, hold the air, then release it without voicing.
What to feel and listen for
The release is made far back in the mouth, with a clear puff and no throat vibration.
Common mistake: Keep the contact at the back of the mouth; /t/ is made at the front.
