Lessons Unit 1, lesson 29

k as in kid

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

kk as in cat

The back of your tongue rises to the roof of your mouth, then releases: k. Like a tiny cough, made on purpose.

ˈk k ɪ i d d
kid
ˈk c æ a t t
cat
ˈb b ʊ oo k k
book
ˈk c ɑː al m m
calm

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.

ˈm m ɪ i l l k k
milk
ˈɑː o ks x
ox
ˈoʊ oa k k
oak
ˈk c ɑː o t t
cot
ˈk c ʌ u p p
cup
ˈk q w u ee n n
queen
