Lessons Unit 1, lesson 23

p as in put

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

pp as in put

Press your lips together, build a little air, then pop: p. In English the pop comes with a small puff of breath.

ˈp p ʊ u t t
put
ˈp p æ a t t
pat
ˈm m æ a p p
map
ʌ u p p
up

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.

ape
ˈp p i e
pie
ˈp p a p p ɚ er
paper
ˈh h æ a p pp i y
happy
ˈt t ɑː o p p

ˈt t æ a p p
