Hello, guys.
I've got a big problem with these two sounds. Everytime I try to produce them the tongue in diferent positions. The teacher (a native speaker) who tries to help me says the /s/ sound is OK, but the /z/ one is too strong. I can produce it willy-nilly at the beginning and in the middle of words, whereas in the last position where the sound has the gentlest form I can't make it. Apparently I make them completely wrong. Please, describe the diffrence, if anybody has a decent source of information about the sounds, send the link...
Thanks.
