Phonetics and the IPA 2, Exercise 2: place of the first sound pin [p] bilabial both lips fan [f] labiodental lower lip + upper teeth thin [θ] dental tongue tip/blade + upper teeth ten [t] alveolar tongue tip/blade + alveolar ridge ship [ʃ] postalveolar tongue blade + area just behind the ridge key [k] velar tongue body + soft palate Note: "key" is spelled with k; compare "cat". Both start with [k], but the tongue touches slightly further forward before [iː] than before [æ]. That fine detail is narrow transcription territory (Chapter 1).
