Which Consonant Is Tricky for You?

Think about sounds like:
🔹 /θ/ — think
🔹 /ð/ — this
🔹 /v/ — very
🔹 /r/ — red
🔹 /ʃ/ — shoe
🔹 /tʃ/ — chair
After completing the English Consonants lesson, it's your turn to practice!
👇 Share in the comments:
My word: __________
The difficult consonant sound is: /___/
Another word with the same sound: __________
For example:
My word: think
The difficult consonant sound is: /θ/
Another word with the same sound:three
💡 Not sure which IPA symbol to use?
That's okay! Just post the word you find difficult and we'll help you identify the sound.
Then, challenge yourself to reply to another student's post. Can you think of another word with the same consonant sound?
🎯 Remember: Don't focus only on the spelling. Pay attention to what your lips, tongue, teeth, and voice are doing.
Every sound you practice brings you one step closer to clearer, more confident English!
