LESSON VIII

Unit 38. WINDOW

[w] – губно-губной заднеязычный срединный щелевой сонант. При его произнесении губы сильно округлены и выдвинуты вперед, образуя круглую щель. Задняя часть языка поднята к мягкому небу. Органы речи сразу же переходят в положение для произнесения следующего гласного звука.

В сочетаниях [tw], [sw], [kw] наблюдается взаимная ассимиляция. С помощью зеркальца следите за тем, чтобы при произнесении начального согласного губы были уже сильно округлены и вытянуты. Произносите глухой согласный энергично. В слове question удлините немного звук [s], чтобы предотвратить типичную ошибку – замену [s] звуком [ ].
