What's different
You can feel the difference too. Say seat, and the lips stay spread from the s through the ee. Say sheet, and they push forward for the sh first, then spread for the ee.
Japanese keeps one meaning of sheet apart: a bed sheet is シーツ, from the plural sheets, while a seat is シート. In English, only the first sound differs: a thin, high hiss for seat, and a lower, wider "shh" for sheet.
聽辨重點
S 是細而高的嘶聲，SH 更低沉、更寬。
現在就開始，聽出差別。
