Some examples of consonants we can work on:
We will begin the lesson by giving you many examples of contrasting word pairs. During this listening practice, there will be a card game for you to pick out the sounds you hear.
Then we will move on to pronunciation practice. I will watch and listen as you say the sounds, and I will give you detailed feedback to make your consonants more accurate.
At the end of the lesson, I will give you some lists of words to practice, along with tips to help you work on the sounds on your own.
