SH
The SH sound is a voiceless postalveolar fricative. It is made by bringing the blade of the tongue close to the area just behind the alveolar ridge and forcing air through, creating a hushing sound.
Round your lips slightly. Raise the blade (the part just behind the tip) of your tongue towards the roof of your mouth, just behind the alveolar ridge (the bump behind your upper teeth). Don't let your tongue tip touch the ridge. Keep the sides of your tongue touching the upper side teeth. Push air out through the channel created, without vibrating your vocal cords.
