Listen to the sound /∫/. Look at the mouth diagram to see how to make this consonant sound. Notice that there is no voice from the throat, and you can feel the air on your hand when you pur it in front of your mouth. If you add voice from the throat, you get the sound /3/, as in television but this sound is not common in English.
Listen to the target sound /∫/ in the words below and compare it with the words on each side.
Listen to the sounds /d3/ and /t∫/. Look at the mouth diagram in С to see how to make these consonant sounds. With /t∫/ there is no voice from the throat, with /d3/ there is. Notice that you can make the sound /∫/ into a continuous sound, but you cannot do this with /t∫/ and /d3/.
Then listen and repeat the examples. Examples: chair cheese chicken kitchen future question rich which March "Which child put chalk on the teacher's chair?"
If a word ends with a /d3/ or a /t∫/, and the next word begins with the same sound, you say the sound twice. If you say Dutch cheese/tj/, it sounds like Dutch ease. The speaker made this mistake in these sentences. Write what they meant to say. Example: Does she tea Chinese in the school? teach Chinese
