Session Seven
1. CH sound
2. The American J sound (DG)
3. Consonant H
Hi, welcome back. Again my name is Paul Gruber and this is the Pronunciation Workshops---Seventh Training Session. In this session, we will cover the CH sound[]and the American J sound[]and then later on the H sound/h/.
Ok, first let’ s start with CH. It’ s a common sound in English. It’s a combination of the T sound/t/ and the SH sound[]. When you put these two sounds together, you get a[]. It’s an unvoiced sound. You can hear the sound, for example, at the beginning and at the end of the word Church. Church. See that. Now if you take this CH sound and you keep everything in your mouth the same, you just add voicing. It becomes an American J sound[]. CH[], unvoiced. J, voiced. You see that everything here stays the same. You just add voicing for the J. This voiced J sound comes at the beginning and at the end of the word Judge. Now the mistake that many foreign speakers make is that they unvoice the J sound at the end of a word. So, for example, many foreign speakers would pronunce the word Judge as Juch, turning that last sound into an unvoiced CH. Juch . And that is not right. The J sound in American English is always voiced[]Judge, like that. For you Spanish speakers whenever you say the letter J in English, it always make this[]sound. It’s never a Y sound. Never. So, for example, the word Job has the[]at the beginning. Job. It’ s never Yob, my Yob. It’ s always my job, with the strong J sound. Job, my Job, like that. Ok, let’ s do some practice. Let’ s start with some CH words. First with CH at the beginning of a word. Here we go.

Charge
Chocolate
Challenge

Now with CH fallen in the middle.

Very good. Let’stry this exercise.
Chop-chop, children, it’s Charlie’s Kitchen adventure!
Today, Chuck will be teaching future champion cooks how to make a chocolate cheesecake.
Very good. Ok, now let’s practise words with the voiced American J sound. We’ ll start with the J sound at the beginning of words. Keep in mind that these sounds can be spelled with both the letter J or the letter G. Here we go.
Juice
Jump
Juggle
Jury
Japan
Giant
Genetic

Generate

Now in the middle of words.

Next one suggestion. (This one also a bit tricky.sug-gestion,suggestion.)
Very good. Now the American J sound at the ends of words. Be sure to keep the voicing going through the whole word.
Age( It’s not Ach. It’ s Age, with voiced ending)
College
Postage
Stage
Pledge

.
Very good. Now this paragraph coming up is filled with American J sounds. Don’ t forget to voice these endings. Here we go.
A German judge and jury have charged and jailed a strange giant, who sat on the edge of a bridge throwing jelly onto large barges.
Very good.
You know , later on in this course. You’ ll get a lot more practice using these sounds in connected speech. But for now, I’ d like to cover H sounds when they come at the beginning of words. When an H is at the beginning of a word. It is pronunced with the strong loud air stream. You should first breathing and then loudly out. /h/, like that. Now is the vowel A, HHHA, HHHA.Did you hear that sound? Now this may not pertain to you, but many foreign speakers tend to drop that air sound when a word begins with the letter H. For example, instead of saying the word Hand. They would say _and, like my right _and. By not putting in that H sound with the loud airstream, your speech can be very difficult to understand. Let’ s practise some of these words beginning with an H. You may want to put your hand in front of your mouth for this exercise. You should be able to feel the airstream come out onto the palm of your hand. /h/, like that.
Note that some words in English that begin with the letter W are also pronunced just like an H. Here we go.
Hand
Hide
Hope
Hair
House
Harvard
Honey
Happy
Who
Whole
Let’ s go over some of these words pairs. The first word in the pair does not have an H sound. The second word does have an H sound. Here we go. Repeat after me.
Old- Hold
Is- His
It- Hit
At- Hat
Arm- Harm
Ill- Hill
Ate- Hate
As- Has
Now try these words with the strong H sound in the middle.
Ahead
Behave
Anyhow
Inhale
Downhill
Dehydrate
Wholehearted
Overhaul
Now, let’s do these H practice sentences using the word He for each of these sentences. You’ ll be using the same opening phrase. Focus on clear and loud H sound in the word He.
He thought that he should…
Wash the car.
Thank his teacher.
Watch television.
Use the telephone.
Shut the door.
Breathe deeply. (Voiced TH)
Tell the truth.
Good. Ok now let’ s try this.
Henry the hungry hippo, who hogged a huge heap of one hundred hamburgers, has had hiccups for one whole week.
Very good. Ok, before we end today’ s session. Let’ s talk about how you’ re supposed to incorporate all this material that I’ m giving you into your spoken English.
As you’ ve seen there’ s a lot I’ m teaching you and a lot to remember. Don’ t try so hard to put everything into use. Instead, just focus on what it is you’ re saying. You’ ll find by taking this program the more you speak English, the more you’ ll become aware of when you have pronunced something incorrectly. I’ ve said this before. It is this the awareness of your mistakes that will eventually help you to change and improve the way you’ re speaking automatically. So I want you to keep on practising, but just sit back and relax and watch your English pronunciation continues to improve. I hope you had a good time. I’ m Paul Gruber for the Pronunciation Workshop and I’ ll see you at the next session. We’ re going to begin working on Vowels.
