Help[Facts] Re: CH
in reply to a message by Satu
I'm from Germany, so I should know how to pronounce the "ch".
As it's already said, there is no English equivalent pronounciation.
But for help, maybe you can use al hints given by the users before me and try to make your "ch" sound like an 'h' and an 'k' spoken together.
So your tongue does almost the same as if you would like to spell the 'k' like in "lock" and your throat tries to spell the soft 'h' "hi" or "house" --> Try Lock-house and try to let the 'k' mutate fluently into the 'h'
Another hint may be: If you speak a single 'ch' make it sound like you got snot in your throat and want to hoist (?) it up to your mouth[to spit it out]. Sounds ugly, but it is like it is.
Hope this helps. But remember to do your exercises alone, otherwise people will think your mad :)
