CH and J Sounds
Practice the voiceless CH sound by saying these words aloud. Remember
that the CH sound is not voiced. Your vocal cords do not vibrate when you
make this sound. Make sure you are only using air to make the sound.
There are three spellings for the CH sound: ch, tch, and t (+u).
ch spelling
This is the most common way to spell the CH sound. Ch always makes the
CH sound.
Chinese
chip
chat
pinch
touch
teach
tch spelling
catch
watch
batch
itch
kitchen
witch
t (+u) spelling
century
spatula
In these words, the CH sound is spelled with the letter T followed by a U.
This is not a very common spelling of the CH sound, but it is important to
know it exists. Most words with the tu spelling, are pronounced with a
regular t sound (examples: turn, turkey).
CH and J Sounds
Now, let's practice the voiced J sound. Remember to use air and your voice
to make this sound.
There are four spellings of the J sound: g, dg, j, and d (+u).
g spelling
When the letter G is followed by an E or an I, it is sometimes pronounced as
a J sound.
The g (+i) spelling is often (but not always) pronounced as a hard G sound
(examples: girl, gift, give). Here are a few words that are pronounced with
the J sound:
giant
imagine
apologize
giraffe
The g (+e) spelling is usually pronounced as a J sound like in these words:
German
large
charge
age
gentle
dg spelling
fudge
budge
bridge
