When you speak,air flows out of your face

(Nose and/or Mouth)

Page 5: An Introduction to Consonants...• A “consonant sound” is not the same as a “consonant letter.” (Phonology vs orthography) • There are almost always more consonant sounds

When air flowsout of your mouthfreely (no block),

you make a “Vowel”

Page 6: An Introduction to Consonants...• A “consonant sound” is not the same as a “consonant letter.” (Phonology vs orthography) • There are almost always more consonant sounds

If airflow through your mouth is

blocked in any way, you make a

“Consonant”

Vowel = Airflow through mouth unblocked

Consonant = Airflow through mouth blocked

The 3 “Features” of a Consonant

• Place - lips, tongue-tip, back of tongue, etc. - where airflow is blocked affects the sound.

• Manner - fricative, approximant, stop - the way airflow is blocked affects the sound

• Voicing - voiced, unvoiced - whether your vocal folds vibrate or not during blockage affects the sound.

A few more notes on consonants• A “consonant sound” is not the same as a “consonant

letter.” (Phonology vs orthography)

• There are almost always more consonant sounds than consonant letters (e.g. English has 27 consonant sounds but only 21 consonant letters).

• You can’t trust the spelling to know how to pronounce a word, you can only trust your ear once it’s tuned to the consonants.

How to See, Hear and Feel Consonants

• How to See: Use a speech organ diagram to visualize place of consonant, and graphics to visualize manner and voicing.

• How to Hear: Using your mind’s eye to guide you, listen to words of same consonant to recognize, then listen to comparisons to distinguish.

• How to Feel: Using your mind’s eye and your ear to guide you, adjust your articulators to match native speaker’s.
