00Today, my classmate and I discussed about it, but all of us had a different opinion.02br
02br
00a guy answers the question that "front of a mouth", a guy answers the question that "back of a mouth", a guy answers that "use the chest for making thick english sound as well as use a head to make a english sound" a guy answers the question that "use the nose to make a english sound"..02br

00but I think those answers got a point.02br
02br
00Some americans more use nose and a front part of a mouth to make a sound, some of them also use a chest and a back part of a mouth to make a thick and lower sound.02br

0 An excellent guide to the areas of the mouth that are used is [url=05000/#]Phonetics: The Sounds of English and Spanish[/url].
