How to make the sound
Raise or curl the tongue toward the postalveolar area without touching it, and keep the sound voiced.
What to feel and listen for
There is no tongue contact or friction; the vowel-like sound stays smooth.
Common mistake: Do not tap the ridge as for a quick flap; keep the tongue away from contact.
