We've been working on sibilants and sounds people sometimes confuse with sibilants.
As you know there are 6 sibilants in English- 3 voiced and 3 voiceless ones.
The three voiced sibilants are:
/z/ buzz /ʒ/ measure /dʒ/ judge
The three voiceless sibilants are:
/s/ bus /∫/ wash /t∫/ watch
People sometimes confuse the two th sounds in English with sibilants as well, but they do not have a hiss or a buzz sound.
Homework practice:
Many students say they would like to hear a recording of the homework before they record it. You can find such a recording here. I've included both my husband and myself recording Consonant Practice homework. Enjoy and good luck!!
