Introduction to the Consonants

Hello! I'm finally back, and hopefully with more to teach. I really apologize for the delay in posting; it's been so hectic, but anyway...

We're done with the vowels, so here we go to the consonants. ^^

The major difference between these two kinds of sounds is that when you pronounce your vowels, your tongue usually moves only a little, or not at all. It is at rest. However, consonants tend to make your tongue, lips and jaw move quite a bit. They are the sounds that make English fun and challenging. Here are the examples:
[t],[r],[z].

Ready?

Let's start then. Please go on to the next post. ^^
