In-Quarto

Since judging from my experience I know that YouTube videos are sometimes removed by the owners of the video I post together with the video a brief description of it. 29:55 English Conversation 39 Uploaded by Anh Ngu VIPS Published on January 28, 2020. The sound talked about in the above mentioned lesson is the consonant sound [s] which we come across in words, e. g. salad, soap, sausage, etc. When we pronounce the consonant sound [s] in the words printed above no vibration occurs (follow the diagram painted in left upper corner during the last minute (or minutes) of the video). In the word "soup" the consonant sound [s] is not pronounced either [ш] [շ] as in words "шурин" "շուրջ" or [сю] [սյը ] as in words "сюита" "սյուն". It's pronounced [с ] [ս] as in words "суп" "սունկ".
