Shereen is transcribed as: ʃ I r i n
For Linguist: The first syllable onset is voiceless palatal fricative “sh”, The next syllable’s onset is a voiced aveolar liquid “ er” with a rhyme of a high front vowel “ee”, and the last syllable’s onset is a voiced nasal aveolar “n”.
For the Locals: Start by putting your lips together leaving a small opening, your tongue should be touching the roof of your mouth and your teeth should be clenched to make the “shhhhh” sound mixed with an “r” sound, as if you were saying the word b i r d. Then open your mouth as if you are smiling and follow with the sound “reeee”. End with the sound “n” produced when the tip of your tongue touches the roof of your mouth.
