ang dalawang tunog ng katinig sa Ingles.

The sounds th /ð/ and /z/.

Ang mga tunog ika /ð/ at /z/.

Kaya ang 'ika' na tunog at isang 'z' na tunog.

So the ‘th’ sound and a ‘z’ sound.

Ang unang salita na mayroon ako ay ang salitang 'tapos'.

Can you hear the th sound? ‘then’

The second word is ‘zen’.

Naririnig mo ba ang tunog?

Can you hear the sound ‘z’?

'tapos'

‘zen’ So ‘then’ and ‘zen’.

Ang pangalawang salita ay 'zen'.

Naririnig mo ba ang tunog na 'z'?

I know this may sound complicated because they sound similar but they are different,

'zen'

Kaya 'tapos' at 'zen'.

Before we learn about the consonant sounds ‘th’ /ð/ and zed /z/ in English,

Bago natin matutunan ang tungkol sa mga katinig na tunog na

'th' /ð/ at zed /z/ sa English,

you should always know about the I.P.A spelling, guys.

dapat lagi mong alam ang tungkol sa IPA spelling, guys.

Kaya mo yan.

Let's first learn how to produce the ‘th’ /ð/ sound in English.

Sabay nating gawin.

Alamin muna natin kung paano gumawa ng tunog na 'ika' /ð/ sa Ingles.

But this ‘th’ is voiced.

Ngunit ang 'ika' na ito ay tininigan.

Ang gagawin mo,

What you're going to do, is you're going to create a vibration with your tongue.

gagawa ka ba ng vibration gamit ang iyong dila.

at makaramdam ng panginginig ng boses sa iyong lalamunan.

You're going to put your tongue against your bottom teeth and you're going to make it vibrate.
