How to make the sound
Place the tongue tip at the ridge behind your upper teeth, stop the air, and release it without voicing.
What to feel and listen for
The tongue leaves the ridge quickly and a small puff follows. In a clear practice word, the throat is quiet.
Common mistake: Aim behind the upper teeth, not between the teeth as in /θ/.
