In this episode of English Sound Building we’re continuing from the last two weeks, thinking about how the /ʃ/, /ʧ/ , /ʒ/ and /ʤ/ sounds appear in faster speech. Sentence-level practice shows you how sounds interact with each other and encourages you to understand the changes made when listening, and, if you like, try them when speaking.
