Some consonants are aspirated. If you hold your hand in front of your mouth as you say these sounds, you should feel a puff of air.
Aspirated consonants in English:
/k/. /t/, /p/, /s/, /ʧ/, & /∫/
An interesting site that talks about aspiration in English can be found here. This site also talks about aspiration in Samala (Samala is the language spoken by the Chumash people of California), but the part about English might be useful for you.
