Week 11

The teacher revises the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by describing how the /k/ sound is pronounced.

 

/k/ 

When you pronounce the sound /k/, the back of you tongue is raised to touch the soft back part of the roof of the mouth(known as the soft palate or velum). This causes the outgoing air to stop temporarily and then the back of the tongue and the soft palate are drawn apart, leading to a sudden release of air from the mouth. In the sound /k/, there is no vibration

 

She further describes the spelling of /k/
