    Theory Practice - Lesson 28

    Uploaded by

    Ahmad Hasan Rahmatullah
    The document provides instructions on pronouncing the consonant [d] in English. It begins by explaining that [d] is produced with the tongue tip between the teeth and with continuous airflow from the mouth without interruption. It then notes that some learners may find [d] difficult and may substitute other sounds like [t] or [z]. Examples are given of words that may be mispronounced. Exercises are provided to practice [d] at the beginning, middle, and end of words. Instructions emphasize placing the tongue tip between the teeth for [d] pronunciation.
