Lessons Unit 1, lesson 28

d as in day

One consonant, on its own page. Hear it, watch where it sits in each word's sheet, then say the words yourself.

dd as in red

Same tongue tap as t, but with your voice on: d. Hand on your throat — d buzzes, t doesn't.

ˈd d ɔː o ɡ g

ˈd d æ a d d

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

ˈɹ r ɛ ea d d ²
