Week 1

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

 

/ᶴ/

The sound /ᶴ/ is pronounced when the tip and blade of the tongue curves back to make a light contact with the region behind the ridge of the teeth while the air which pushes through the gap makes a hissing sound. The lips and tongue are in the same position for the production of both sounds, but in the sound /ᶴ/ there is no vibration in the throat.

 

She further describes the spelling of /ᶴ/

Week 2

The teacher introduces the new topic by describing how the /tᶴ/ and /dᶾ/ sound is pronounced

/tᶴ/

The /tᶴ/ sound is produced when the tip, blade and edges of the tongue touches the portion behind the tooth ridge to stop the outgoing air. At the same time the front of the tongue is raised towards the hard part of the roof of the mouth in readiness for the release of the outgoing air. Then the air is suddenly released. The /tᶴ/ sound has no vibration in the throat.

At the same time the front of the tongue is raised towards the hard part of the roof of the mouth in readiness for the release of the outgoing air. Then the air is suddenly released.
