 Re: Too much saliva?

I forgot to mention something in my earlier post.

If the student keeps the tip of his tongue in the right position and breathes in through his mouth, the inrush of air should keep his tongue dry. The saliva glands are under the tongue, not on top.

This is just a technique he should learn and practice, like any other.

Apropos sucking; it is not only noisy and unattractive, it is also mostly ineffectual. Sucking through the thin, uppermost end of a straw is unlikely to shake loose any droplets further down.
