PODCAST Use Your Air Wisely- Pronouncing P-T-K

Here is a lesson about when we say a sound using aspiration (a puff of air) and when we do not use a puff of air.

English can be so confusing but I know this recording will help you!

 

 

Check out these words! You can repeat them with me from the recording below

Using Air->  pot    sounds like   “p^hot”

No Air->      spot   sounds like “sbot”

 

Air->    top   sounds like  “t^hop”

No Air-> stop sounds like “sdop”

 

Air->  cat sounds like  “k^hat” 

No Air->  scat sounds like “sgat”

 

More Words from the Recording. Can you figure out what they sound like now?
