How to Pronounce Initial K and G Consonant Sounds | Learn English Pronunciation Course

In today's video, we are going to focus on two initial consonant sounds in English.

Dalam video hari ini,

kita akan memfokuskan pada dua

bunyi konsonan awal dalam bahasa Inggeris.

The ‘k’ sound and the ‘g’ sound.

Bunyi 'k' dan bunyi 'g'.

/k/ and /g/.

/k/ dan /g/.

I know they sound quite similar but they are actually quite different in English.

Saya tahu bunyinya agak serupa

tetapi sebenarnya agak berbeza dalam bahasa Inggeris.

And they are very important so keep watching.

Dan mereka sangat penting jadi teruskan menonton.

Let's take two example words to begin with.

Mari kita ambil dua contoh perkataan sebagai permulaan.

The first word is ‘cot’.

Perkataan pertama ialah 'katil bayi'.

It's a very sharp ‘k’ sound as you can hear.

Ia adalah bunyi 'k' yang sangat tajam seperti yang anda boleh dengar. 'katil bayi'

‘cot’

The second word is ‘got’.

Perkataan kedua ialah 'dapat'.

It's a ‘g’ sound this time.

Ia adalah bunyi 'g' kali ini.

‘got’

'dapat'

So ‘cot’ and ‘got’.

Jadi 'katil bayi' dan 'dapat'.

They sound quite different actually but if you cannot hear the difference,

Bunyinya agak berbeza sebenarnya

tetapi jika anda tidak dapat mendengar perbezaannya,

don't worry keep watching.

jangan risau teruskan menonton.

We'll practice together and at the end of the video you will be able to pronounce them correctly.

Kami akan berlatih bersama-sama

dan pada akhir video

anda akan dapat menyebutnya dengan betul.

Let's get started.

Mari kita mulakan.

Before we get into these initial consonant sounds /k/ and /g/ in English,

Sebelum kita masuk ke bunyi konsonan awal

/k/ dan /g/ dalam bahasa Inggeris,

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

anda harus tahu tentang ejaan IPA, kawan-kawan.

It's very useful.

Ia sangat berguna.

You can also watch me and how I move my mouth.

Anda juga boleh melihat saya dan bagaimana saya menggerakkan mulut saya.

And remember to repeat after me when I ask you to in this video.

Dan ingat untuk mengulangi selepas saya

apabila saya meminta anda dalam video ini.

You can make those sounds.

Anda boleh membuat bunyi itu.

Let's do it together now.

Mari kita lakukan bersama-sama sekarang.

Let's first learn how to produce this /k/ sound in English.

Mari kita belajar dahulu cara menghasilkan bunyi /k/ ini dalam bahasa Inggeris.

It's voiceless.

Ia tidak bersuara.

You are not going to use the vibrations of your throat - your voice.

Anda tidak akan menggunakan getaran tekak anda -

suara anda.

You're just going to push out some air.

Anda hanya akan menolak sedikit udara.

And you're going to place the back of your tongue up there.

Dan anda akan meletakkan bahagian belakang lidah anda di sana.

And you're going to push out some air with the back of your tongue.

Dan anda akan menolak sedikit udara

dengan bahagian belakang lidah anda. Jadi /k/

So /k/

Bolehkah anda lakukan ini? Ulang selepas saya.

Can you please do this? Repeat after me.

/k/

/k/

Let's practice with the word ‘cot’.

Mari berlatih dengan perkataan 'katil bayi'.

Please repeat after me.

Sila ulangi selepas saya.

‘cot’

'katil bayi'

Let's now move on to the /g/ sound.

Mari kita beralih kepada bunyi /g/.

Now it's the same as the /k/ sound but it's voiced.

Kini ia sama dengan bunyi /k/ tetapi ia bersuara.

So you're not going to push out some air.

Jadi anda tidak akan menolak sedikit udara.

You're going to produce a sound.

Anda akan menghasilkan bunyi.

You're going to make your throat vibrate, okay.

Anda akan membuat tekak anda bergetar, okay.

So back of your tongue, up there, and you produce a sound. You use your voice.

Jadi belakang lidah anda, di atas sana,

dan anda menghasilkan bunyi.

Anda menggunakan suara anda.

So, /g/

Jadi, /g/

Please repeat after me.

Sila ulangi selepas saya.

/g/

/g/

Let's practice with the word ‘got’.

Mari berlatih dengan perkataan 'dapat'.

Please repeat after me.

Sila ulangi selepas saya.

'dapat'

Good.

Bagus.

Let's now practice using minimal pairs.

Mari kita berlatih menggunakan pasangan minimum.

These words sound almost the same but they are different.

Perkataan ini bunyinya hampir sama tetapi berbeza.

They're very good if you want to focus on the differences between the sounds.

Mereka sangat bagus jika anda ingin memfokuskan pada perbezaan antara bunyi.

But first, let's focus on the sounds themselves.

Tetapi pertama, mari kita fokus pada bunyi itu sendiri.
