To distinguish
between voiced & unvoiced sounds:
1. Put your hands over your ears & say the sounds
- you'll hear the voiced sounds.
2. Put your hand on your throat while saying the sounds
- you'll feel a vibration for the voiced sounds.
3. Put a piece of paper in front of your mouth when saying
the sounds - the paper will move when saying the unvoiced
sounds. |
