CH and J Sounds
CH: (China, century, watch)
J: (Germany, educate , judge )

Pronunciation: CH Sound, Lesson 13


The voiceless (unvoiced) CH sound (IPA symbol: tʃ ) can be
found in English words such as China, child, church, century,
watch, and catch.

Let's practice!

Practice the voiceless CH sound

Practice the voiceless CH sound by saying these words aloud.


Remember that the CH sound is not voiced. Your vocal cords do
not vibrate when you make this sound. Make sure you are only
using air to make the sound.

There are three spellings for the CH sound: ch, tch, and t (+u).

Let's practice these three spellings of this sound!


ch spelling

This is the most common way to spell the CH sound. Ch always


makes the CH sound.

tch spelling

followed by a U. This is not a very common spelling of the CH

tu spelling, are pronounced with a regular t
sound (examples: turn, turkey).
