Words with the Sound /ch/

In saying the /ch/ sound, just copy the sound of breaking static. Bite and put your upper and lower teeth together, slightly pout your lips and quickly exhale some air going to the middle of your teeth.

Practice these words:

- challenge
- cha-cha
- charcoal
- charming
- chalice
- cheap
- checkbook
- cheddar
- cheeky
- cheesecake
- T'ai Chi
- chocolate
- choice
- choker
- chomp
- choose
- chubby
- chuck
- chunk
- chuckle
- chug

Note: Not all words that start with "ch" is pronounced /ch/. Some are pronounced as /k/ like 'cholera', 'chemistry', 'choir'.
