English Pronunciation | The Letter Q

👉 In this English Pronunciation lesson I will teach you how to pronounce the letter Q perfectly and also what sound the letters Q and QU normally make when spoken in English. Finally we will also practice the letter Q with some really fun Practice Sentences which will help you to speak English quickly, fluently and easily! 👉 At the end we will look at some SUPER FUN 'Q' Tongue Twisters and do a short English TEST! 👉 The letter Q, lower case q (pronounced /kjuː/) very reliably represents IPA phoneme /k/. It is normally followed by u, and this "qu" combination sounds like /kw/. For more practice with this sound, you can check out my lesson about The Letter K, here....    • English Pronunciation |  The Letter 'K'  |...   👉 This lesson has CHAPTERS so you can SKIP to the part you need to learn most. 🤩 I hope you find this lesson helpful!
