6長胎堂沈 many students do not do well in plosion.Listen and compare the Chinese way and the English way:[演示读一遍]put,baby,time,date,king,go.If you make the plosion stronger,it will sound better.This point also explains why many people from English-speaking country may say婆婆as popo.[演示读 遍] The second problem for Chinese learners is that when the plosives appear at the end of a word,they tend to add an extra sound /a/there,because they are influenced by Chinese Pinyin.For example,/p/sounds like,/b/ sounds like波，sounds like特，/d/sounds like得，/k/sounds like科and /g/sounds like哥.Now listen and compare:[演示读-遍]rope-roper. bob-bober,eat-eater,good-gooder,make-maker,dog-doger.The ending plosive should be weak and light,no extra syllable. Mistakes:Front Vowel For some Chinese learners,apart from the fact that they often mispronounce these two sounds for each other.it's also very easy for them to eplace the sounds with the double vowel /ai/.This mistake will be corrected in the following double vowel part.
