Common Mispronunciations of She
Not SEE
The opening is sh, made with the tongue pulled back and the lips slightly rounded. A plain s turns she into see.
Not SHI
That vowel runs long. Cut short, the word drifts towards the i of ship.
Tip: In running speech she loses its length, so did she go comes out as did-shi-go.
