How to pronounce my name
My name is Michelle. This might be a little difficult for some people two pronounce, so. I'm going to help you out a bit with that. First things first; The MI (using bibabials), is pronounced MU by putting your two lips together to make the mmm sound. The CH is pronounced SH (using your palatals) putting you teeth together and breathing out. The ELLE is pronounced L by breathing out with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth. Michelle is a voiced sound.

After that, you need to (2) Write out a description for the locals who are not linguists--the ones who won't understand IPA or phonological descriptions! Explain in writing what they should do with their vocal cords, teeth, tongue, breath, etc. For "Maria," I would need to say, "Start by making a nasal hummmm, put your lips together and let an "uh" sound come out followed quickly by a "reeeeee" and then "uh."
Don't forget to add an image!
