z as in zoo

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

zthe z in zoo

Say s, then switch your voice on: zzz, like a bee. Your tongue stays exactly where it was for s.

ˈz z oo
zoo
ˈz z ɪ i p p
zip
ˈb b ʌ u z zz
buzz
ɪ i z s
is

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.

ooze
ˈz z ɪ e ɹ r o ?

ˈn n o z s e

ˈm m juː u z s ɪ i k c
