Welcome back to season 3 of English Sound Building! Today, we're looking at another voiceless and voiced consonant pair: /k/ and /g/.  We'll practise the sounds in individual words, in some minimal pairs, and in sentences.

Practise as often as you can to build muscle memory, and make sure you subscribe so you don't miss the next one.

What is your favorite season? Emma and Luke talk about the signs of spring and their favorite seasons.   

Did you catch Luke's pun? 'Re-leaf' (meaning to have leaves again) is not a real word. It is a play on  the sound and meaning of the real word 'relief' and a joke on how trees have leaves again in the spring. 
 
You can read a transcript while you listen to the episode or review the vocabulary list on the Dialogue Frog website. Check it out here: https://dialoguefrog.com/english-dialogues-signs-of-spring-37/

On the website, we also have an 'Extra' for this episode. It introduces the special spring vocabulary word 'peeper' and has a link to an article from an online magazine about the signs of spring. I recommend reading the article for more new vocabulary words and phrases for how native English speakers in North America talk about spring. Just click on the 'Extras!' tab on the Dialogue Frog webpage: https://dialoguefrog.com/english-dialogues-signs-of-spring-37/

Listen to an English conversation dialogue between Emma and Luke. How do you continue a conversation after asking 'how are you?' This episode is one example of how a conversation continues after greeting. It also is good listening practice on how to talk about routines in English.
