Alveolar ridge: The gums just behind the upper teeth. 21. Palate: The hard palate, or the roof of the mouth within the sphere of your teeth. 22. Velum: The soft palate, or the roof of your mouth as it extends past the teeth, ending at the uvula. 23. Uvula: The appendage that dangles in the back of your mouth before your mouth turns into your throat 24. Pharynx: The back of your throat, behind the uvula 25. Epiglottis: A flap of flesh that rests below your pharynx, at the top of your throat 26. Trachea: The windpipe, which is covered by the epiglottis 27. Stops: This is when you completely block the flow of air from your throat by closing your mouth at some point during the pronunciation of the sound (p, t, k, b, d, and g) 28. Nasals: In a nasal sound, you close your mouth just as you would with a stop, but the back of your velum lowers, which allows air to flow up through your nose and out of your nostrils (m, n,?). 29. Fricatives: In this sound, you only close your mouth part way so air is forced through a narrow passage, and makes a hissing sound (F, ¸,v, s, z, ?, ?, h). 30. Affricates: A combination of stop and fricative sounds that are made in a similar way (tS, dZ) 31. Approximants: This sound is like a fricative, except that it involves less obstruc- tion.

Post-alveolars: When you touch the tip of your tongue to your soft palate when you speak 39. Palatals: When the body of your tongue touches your palate as you speak 40. Velars: When the body of your tongue touches your velum as you speak 41. Glottals: When you constrict your glottis as you speak. 42. Vowel Sounds: While vowel sounds still rely on the opening and closing of the mouth, we block the airflow from our throat significantly less when pronouncing them. Generally, different vowel sounds are made by different mouth shapes and positions of the tongue body. 43.

This is why the most memorable lessons from school were the ones where you did an activity that required you to get out of your seat and move around. Adding that extra wrinkle made it more
