Today I noticed an easy way for Chinese students to learn the consonants pronunciations in American English and would like to share with you. Generally speaking, if you have the correct pronunciations for all 声母 in Chinese, you’ve killed most of the consonants pronunciations in American English. The remaining four sounds are TH sounds (two different ones), V sound and R sound. Please see the comparison table for more details. * Note: this is summarized by myself, may not be 100% correct and cannot be used in professional occasions. Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know!!!😄 ** I never logged in SKOOL via computer before. hahaha, but today I need create a table, so... hope the format is easy to review. 🙃

@Mariel Liang Thanks for sharing! From my teaching experience with Chinese learners, sound comparisons like this can be helpful as a reference, but they can also be misleading if taken too literally. I’ve seen better pronunciation results when students focus more on listening, imitation, and mouth placement... @Shane Peterson
