Pronunciation >> Pronunciation Materials >> If your students find two words with a similar sound, these are put together like you would with identical numbers going together in a normal game of dominoes. This one practices aspirated and unaspirated "h" phonemes.
H: Aspirated or Not?
As in normal dominoes, like pairs must be put together. So, for example, 'house' can be put next to 'hot'. Cut these strips across so that each dominoe has two words on it - one at either end.
The two sounds practiced here are:
- 'h' as in house
- '(h)' as in (h)our
hotel | hour |
holiday | honour |
ham | hawk |
honest | happy |
home | sigh |
unhappy | dishonest |
hunt | heir |
hair | happen |
herb | hill |
hinge | white |
