The word "luch" is spelled with the letters L-U-C-H, and the IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /lʌtʃ/. The first sound, /l/, is produced by placing the tip of the tongue on the ridge behind the upper teeth and making a vibratory sound. The second sound, /ʌ/, is a short vowel sound made with the tongue mid-way between the top and bottom of the mouth. The final sound, /tʃ/, is a combination of the sounds /t/ and /ʃ/, which are produced by releasing air abruptly while pressing the top of the tongue against the roof of the mouth and making a hissing sound.
