Affricates (CH / J) (Topic 3) in Module 1 – English-Pronunciation (BG)

Affricates

Affricates begin like a stop, then release into friction (a mix of a stop + fricative):

  • CH /tʃ/ (as in chair) is typically voiceless
  • J /dʒ/ (as in job) is typically voiced

Make the stop clean, then let the friction continue briefly.
