The Consonant Sounds /∫/, /d3/ and /t∫/
Unit 12; Part A
 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.
