The “sh” is one of the most common and important phonetic sounds in English. It exists in many other languages as well, but not in all. The Spanish language has no “sh” sound, although certain regional accents sometimes provide a very close equivalent. A good example of this is the Seville accent in Spanish, in which the people often say “shiquillo” in reference to the word “chiquillo”.
The important thing to remember is that the “sh” in English a pronounced very strongly, especially when it falls at the end of the word: wiSH… fiSH… finiSH… poSH.
The following table provides 146 words that start, finish or contain the “sh” sound. Listen to how I pronounce each word and try to copy my pronunciation. I exaggerate the emphasis on the “sh” in each word to help you develop the right pronunciation habits.
