Move to the long I and to do this open your mouth wide, tip of the tongue is very low, back of the tongue is pulled high up, and then close the mouth to a smile, and your tongue will be high and flat. I.
End with the t. Do this by touching the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth and pulling it down.
