In this American English pronunciation video, we're going to learn how to pronounce the
-
SH and DJ consonant sounds.
-
These two sounds are paired together because they take the same mouth position.
-
SH is unvoiced, meaning only air passes through the mouth.
-
And DJ is voiced, meaning you make sound with your vocal cords.
-
DJ. To make these sounds, the teeth come together, the corners of the lips come in, and the lips flare.
-
The tongue lifts so the front, middle part of the tongue is very close to the roof of the mouth,
-
but not touching it.
-
The tongue tip points forward but doesn't touch anything.
-
Let's look at these sounds up close and in slow motion.
-
The lips flare and the teeth come together.
-
In the word 'shop', the SH is at the beginning of the word.
-
In the word 'wish', it's at the end.
-
In the word 'Asia', the ZH sound is in the middle.
-
The mouth position is always the same.
-
Teeth together, lips flare.
-

-
Videos in this set will be released here on YouTube twice a month,

-
The real value of these videos is watching them as a set, as a whole
-
to give your mind the time to take it all in and get the bigger picture.
-
Most of the materials you'll find elsewhere just teach the sounds on their own in isolation.
-
It's a mistake to learn them this way. We learn the sounds to speak words and sentences, not just sounds.
