/dʒ/

The /dʒ/ sound in English is a voiced post-alveolar affricate, which means it’s a sound made by forcing air through a narrow channel created by placing the tip of the tongue against the post-alveolar region of the mouth, just behind the alveolar ridge (the bump behind your teeth), and using the vibration of the vocal cords. Here’s how you pronounce it:

• Position your tongue: The /dʒ/ sound is post-alveolar, which means it’s made by placing the tip of your tongue against the post-alveolar region of the mouth, just behind the alveolar ridge (the bump behind your teeth).
• Voicing: The /dʒ/ sound is a voiced consonant, meaning your vocal cords vibrate when you produce this sound. You should feel a vibration if you lightly touch the front of your throat while saying the sound.
• Release the sound: Start by forcing air out from your lungs through the narrow channel created between your tongue and the post-alveolar region of the mouth. The air should flow out continuously, producing the /dʒ/ sound.
