So, I’m not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’ve been struggling lately with how I pronounce certain soft sounds like 's', 'c', and 'z'.
It’s not that I can't say the words themselves—I can handle words like "city," "sun," or even specific dates without much trouble—it's just that there's this weird, breathy, almost slushy sound happening whenever those letters come up, which makes me feel like I'm mumbling or "fuzzing" my speech.
I can't tell if I'm just mispronouncing these three specific sounds because they all seem to blend together in my head, or if there's actually some underlying issue with my speech patterns that I should be worried about.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this...?
I tried looking up a guide online that breaks down perfect American English pronunciation for every single letter, but I haven't been able to find anything helpful yet.
