the chained consonant sounds these two
sounds are paired together because they
take the same mouth position is unvoiced
meaning only air passes through the
mouth and is voiced meaning the you're
making a sound with the vocal cords
these consonants have a stop consonant
component but unlike stop constants
they're always released the stop
consonant is when the front part of the
tongue raises and touches the roof of
the mouth in the front in the TD tongue
position the mouth takes the position of
the shh-shh sounds where the teeth are
together the corners of the lips are in
and the rest of the lips are flared so
the tongue will move up and press the
roof of the mouth air builds up and when
the tongue releases the air comes
through just making the sound here is
the sound on the right compared with the
mouth at rest on the left
notice how the lips in this sound come
away from the face here parts of the
mouth are drawn in the soft palate is
raised in this consonant sound notice
how high the tongue reaches it presses
against the roof of the mouth before
pulling away to release the air the
sound sample words Char Char chump jump
sample sentence I was on the edge of my
seat watching each match of the major
tournament now you will see the sentence
up close and in slow motion both
straight on and from an angle so you can
really study how the mouth moves when
making this sound i with the AI as in
buy diphthong lips circle into the W was
on
the edge now here we have the G
consonant sound watch the lips as the
teeth come together of my seat lips pull
wide for the EE as in she watchin lips
make the W here's the CH sound watch the
lips
each lips pull wide for the EE as in she
and again the CH match again it ends in
the consonant sound of the major with
the jus consonant sound
tournament lips together for the M
tongue up for the N position and the T
and now from an angle i with the AI as
in buy diphthong was
on the edge
watch the sound of my seat corners of
the mouth pulled wide for the EE as in
she watchin lips make the W watch here's
the CH sound watching each corners pull
wide for the EE as in she and now form
