UNIT 12

The consonant sounds /ʃ/, /ʤ/ and /ʧ/

 Listen to the sound /ʃ/. 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 put it in front of your mouth. If you add voice from the throat, you get the sound /ʒ/, as in television, but this sound is not common in English.

Listen to the target sound /ʃ/ in the words below and compare it with the neighbouring words.

sort	short	sort
suit	shoot	suit
catch	cash	catch
choose	shoes	choose

Listen and repeat the examples.

Examples

should shirt sugar

fashion nation ocean

wish push English

Sharon shouldn't wash her shoes in the shower!

Listen to the sounds /ʤ/ and /ʧ/. Look at the mouth diagram below to see how to make these consonant sounds. With /ʧ/ there is no voice from the throat, with /ʤ/ there is. Notice that you can make the sound /ʃ/ into a continuous sound, but you cannot do this with /ʤ/ and /ʧ/.

Now listen to the sound /ʤ/ on its own.

Listen to the target sound /ʤ/ in the words below and compare it with the neighbouring words.

cheap	Jeep	cheap
