In the English
language we have consonant sounds and vowels sounds.
First of all we are
going to study the CONSONANT SOUNDS. The consonant sounds are created when
there is a blockage or constriction of air in the vocal track.
The places where the
constrictions/obstruction of air occurs:
- Dental
- labio-dental
- Bilabial
- Alveolar
- Post-alveolar
- Palatal
- Velar
- Glotal
In this lin you could
see each of the places of articulation with the phonetics symbols and their
sounds:
The manners of
articulation can be:
- Stop: and it can be voiceless or voiced
- Fricative: it can be voiceless or voiced
- Africative: it can be voiceless or voiced
- Nasal sound: it is just voiced
- Liquid sound: it is just voiced
- Glide sound:it is just voiced
In this link you also
could find the manners of articulation with the phonetics symbols and their
sounds.
This is a link in
which you will find an exercise about manners of articulation:
It is important to practice this kind of exercises because in this way you are going to be improving day by day.
