Week 7

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

 

/ᶷᵊ/

The sound /ᶷᵊ/ is pronounced when the tongue starts in a position similar to that used when you pronounce /ᶷ/ and then moves forward and downwards towards the position where you say /ᵊ/. Your lips are weakly rounded at the beginning when you say /ᶷ/ but they become neutrally spread as you say /ᵊ/.
