How to Pronounce Tricky English Consonant Sounds

Improve your English pronunciation with this 23-minute lesson focused on tricky consonant sounds. In this accent reduction session, I work with Nitish, my advanced learner from India, as we practice voiced and unvoiced consonants in common names and original tongue twisters.

We also take a deep dive into the /w/ sound and apply it to question words. You’ll hear natural falling intonation in WH- questions and learn how rhythm and pitch affect clarity and confidence when you speak.

This lesson is ideal for intermediate and advanced learners who want to sound more natural, build stronger speaking habits, and communicate clearly in real conversations.

🟦 What you’ll practice:
– Voiced vs. unvoiced consonants: /p, b, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, w/
– Challenging words and names
– Original tongue twisters
– /w/ in question words
– Falling intonation in WH- questions

If you want to strengthen your accent and speak with confidence, this session is for you!
👉 Watch, repeat, and practice along.
