Although there is a lot of advice on lisp, I would like to ask more precisely how to fix it? When I say the letters sz, cz, s, c, z, my tongue is on the left side of my mouth. When I say a sentence, you can hear that I pronounce certain letters incorrectly. It irritates me a lot. I thought it would fade in adulthood, but unfortunately it didn't. I am asking for tips and possibly some exercises on this problem.
The basic tip is to go to a speech therapist who will select the appropriate exercises. There are many types of lisp, including lateral lisp, so exercising without consulting a specialist does not bring the expected results.
What you can do on your own at home is to practice your language, e.g. by making a tube out of your tongue. However, for you to learn how to pronounce the sounds correctly, you need speech therapy exercises. The speech defect does not go away by itself and must be corrected. It is always possible with the help of a specialist.
