Learning Anything?
Am I learning anything in the classes here in Ireland? You betcha. Try this one out:
What's the difference in pronunciation between the word pit and the letters "pit" in the word spit? If you just say the words out loud, you might think there isn't any difference, but there is. Hold you hand directly in front of your mouth and say the word "pit," then the word "spit." You should notice that a puff of air exits your mouth when you say the former, but not the latter. This is because the "p" in pit is pronounced differently; it is aspirated. New things every day.
