Hello and one question

Hi David
First to say hello, I am glad that I am here. I am Croatian, currently working/living in Manchester UK.Just started your LoA and it is great. Practicing for few hours a day. Wife is almost crazy :)
I have a question regarding tongue blocking technique. I am getting on with it but struggling to "tongue block" hole 2 while I am coming from the left side (from hole 1), but when coming from the right side I do not have a problem to "hit" it.
So far I am doing that way, with puckering hole 1. Is that ok? Will that have any influence in future?
Thanks
Goran

Thanks David for reply. I
Thanks David for reply. I will try that way. For sure after some time I will manage to do it.
Hello Goran, welcome to the site. I'm glad you're enjoying your studies. It's fine to pucker hole 1, I often play that way as well. When tongue blocking the 2, aim for the wood/plastic to the left of hole 1. When aiming to block the 1 it's common to have your tongue accidentally cover hole 2 a little bit, making it difficult to sound. Give this a try.
