L1_S3_ Vowels and Introduction to Consonants

Vowel sounds allow the air to flow freely, causing the chin to drop noticeably, while consonant sounds are produced by restricting the airflow.

The letters of the alphabet that represent vowel letters are: a, e, i, o, and u. The letter ‘y’ is sometimes referred to as an honorary vowel, as it replaces one of the other vowel letters in words such as: fly or my.

The letters of the alphabet that usually represent the consonant sounds are: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z.
