Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook

This is a pronunciation lesson to practice the ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ sounds. English learners often confuse these two sounds.

Part I – minimal pairs
Part II – which word do you hear?
Part III – words and phrases with ‘sh’ /ʃ/ and ‘ch’ /tʃ/ sounds
Part IV – Linking ‘sh’ /ʃ/ and ‘ch’ /tʃ/ sounds

Enjoy!

    Hello Waqas,

    Please do not write in all capital letters! It is very difficult to read your comment.

    In the ‘Study Tips’ section of my blog, there is a post on how to improve your pronunciation:
