<p>Can you teach me to whistle?! Someone? Anyone? 'cause not being able to is really starting to suck.</p>
<p>And if I can learn another language out if it, even better ;)</p>
<p>I can only whistle by drawing in air, it's really weird. Now I just tried it and just remembered that according to korean superstition, I'm not allowed to whistle at night. Don't believe in superstition but still am a little creeped out right now and want to turn around and see what's behind me... Um, yeah. It does suck not to be able to whistle. Like when we have whistling parts in the middle of songs for chorus. I just have to kind of purse my lips and just STAND there.</p>
<p>ok here, there are two ways to whistle for me, one is the classic O shape with your mouth and the other is one where you sort of look like a porpoise with an overbite</p>
<p>the O one is easier to learn, just make an O about the diameter of a straw and start exhaling, eventually, you'll learn how to do it</p>
<p>btw, licking your lips helps with th whistleing</p>
<p>I'm trying to do the one where they stick the two fingers in the mouth but I havent learned that one</p>
<p>yeah, that blows my mind, hehe.</p>
<p>sempitern, I'm trying to whistle like you're explaining, but it's not working cuz I'm still laughing over "porpoise with an overbite" and I can't get my mouth into an O in this condition.</p>
<p>yes, I find that to be a problem too ;)</p>
<p>if you're having a lot of trouble, use a regular straw as a template</p>
<p>Oh my english teacher does the two finger thing. If we're too loud, she whistles, and it's the shrillest thing ever. The first time she did that, we were so surprised; it's not very professional, you know</p>
<p>u cant whistle? hahahahah i can whistle! WHOOO!!!!!!</p>
<p>in NYC doormen use it to hail cabbies</p>
<p>in Moscow, cab passengers use it to hail prostitutes</p>

<p>I kid not... when I whistle and someone walks by, they think I'm playing the ocarina... dumb ones confuse it with a piccolo and martians with a flute.</p>
