How to Pronounce the /tʃ/ Sound

/tʃ/ is a consonant sound in the English language.

As you can see, in picture (b), the tongue plays an important role in the production of this sound. The tongue rises up and its tip touches the roof of the mouth. As you can see, the back part of the mouth remains in its place. Note that the uvula has blocked the air from coming out of the nose. With the tongue in that position, the air is stopped, and then, we lower the tongue, releasing the air forcefully out of our mouth. In picture (b), it is clear that the circle of the vocal cords is grey meaning that the /tʃ/ sound is voiceless, so we do not need to vibrate our vocal cords in the production.
As you can see, in picture (a), the corners of the mouth are directed inwards and the teeth touch slightly.
