After you have pinpointed the desired sweet spot, then you can start
making some basic sounds. Focus on single vowels first. Over-
articulate every sound with your mouth until you feel comfortable
with all the vowels. After that, you can start practicing short words.
Slowly work your way up to sentences and conversation.

it as learning to play a musical instrument. It will take time, practice,
and patience. In some cases, talking can be achieved in amonth,
in other cases it can take only a few days.
