  • tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth with it slightly down

  • and it's still behind those top front teeth lips are relaxed for that short ih

  • sound and then touch the teeth again for the end while the air moves out of your

  • nose tin I tin next add the short uh that's the schwa sound it's made with a

  • very relaxed mouth and it's very short as a tip to make it sound a little more

  • natural make sure you link it to the syllable

  • tin and say tina tina you want that to be together i tina next move to rare and

  • to do this start with your R sound your lips are rounded the tip of your tongue
