2- Describe the following consonant sounds :
/f/ : This is the voiceless labiodental fricative. To produce this sound, place the
upper teeth against the lower lip and blow air through the small gap between
them without using the vocal cords.

/Ө/: This is the voiceless dental fricative. To produce this sound, place the tip of
the tongue against the upper front teeth and blow air through the small gap
between them without using the vocal cords.

/b/: This is the voiced bilabial plosive. To produce this sound, bring both lips
together and momentarily stop the airflow, then release it with a brief burst.

/dʒ/: This is the voiced postalveolar affricate. To produce this sound, start with
the tongue against the alveolar ridge, then move it back while simultaneously
producing a voiced fricative.

/j/ : This is the voiced palatal approximant. To produce this sound, raise the
body of the tongue towards the hard palate without creating a constriction. It's
similar to the 'y' sound in "yes."

/ŋ/ : This is the voiced velar nasal. To produce this sound, lower the back of the
tongue and allow air to pass through the nose while vibrating the vocal cords.
