Things to know:
- The /g/ sound is typically developed by 3-6.5 years old
- It is made by pushing the tongue to the back of the throat and making a deep "glug" sound
- You need your mouth open for this sound
- Put your hand on your throat, and scrunch up your tongue in the back of your throat. The back hump of your tongue should touch the top back of your throat. Try to say "GUH" to get a good G sound.
