00:00Hi there, this is the F sound as in the words for, from and find.
00:13The F sound is a sound from the consonant pairs group and it is called the voiceless labiodental fricative.
00:24This means that you create friction between the bottom lip and the top teeth.
00:31The F sound is made through the mouth and it is unvoiced which means that you don't use your vocal cords to make the sound.
00:41It is defined by the position of your lips and teeth.
00:45It is a fricative which is a sound that is produced by a high pressure air flow between a narrow space in the mouth.
00:53In this case it is between the bottom lip and the teeth.
00:59To produce the sound, press your top teeth on your bottom lip and force air out through your teeth.
01:08The F sound is normally spelled with the letter F as in the words father and often.
01:27But it can also be spelled with the letters PH as in the word phone or the letters GH as in the word enough.
01:42Here are some words that begin with the F sound.
