Consonants 1 Plosives – stop air, let it go suddenly /p/ unvoiced /b/ voiced Bilabial - lips
Consonants 2 Plosives – stop air, let it go suddenly /t/ unvoiced /d/ voiced Alveolar – ridgebehind the teeth
Consonants 3 Plosives – stop air, let it go suddenly /k/ unvoiced /g/ voiced Velar – back of the throat
Consonants 4 Fricative – let air pass through /f/ unvoiced /v/ voiced Labio-dental – lip(s) and teeth
Consonants 5 Fricative – let air pass through /θ/ unvoiced /ð/ voiced Dental – teeth and tongue
Stick your tongue out! /θ/ and /ð/ are both written ‘th’. Many learners of English mispronounce these as /t/, /d/, /f/, /v/, /z/, /s/ or /ʃ/ While this rarely affects understanding, if you do not pronounce this sound correctly, you will always have a distracting accent.
Consonants 6 Fricative – let air pass through /s/ unvoiced /z/ voiced Alveolar –ridge behind teeth
Consonants 7 Fricative – let air pass through /ʃ/ unvoiced /ʒ/ voiced Palato-alveolar

Consonants 8 Affricate – stop air, let it go gradually /ʧ/ unvoiced /ʤ/ voiced Palato-alveolar
Consonants 9 Fricative – let air go through /h/ Glottal
Consonants 10 Nasal – let air out of your nose /m/ bilabial /n/ alveolar /ŋ/ velar
Why is it hard to speak clearly when you have a cold? aɪhæv ʌ kəʊdɪdbaɪdəʊz

Vowels The consonants are simple ... It’s the vowels that are complicated! [owls]
