    ★★ TIME STAMPS ★★
    0:00 Introduction
    1:23 How are plosives formed?
    3:10 Where are plosives formed? (place of articulation)
    9:16 Typical spelling patterns for plosives
    13:44 Minimal pairs for plosive sounds
    ★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
    In this video you will learn all about the six plosive consonant sounds in English: /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/ & /g/. Three of these are unvoiced (/p/, /t/ & /k/) and three are voiced, which means we use our vocal chords to produce the sound (/b/, /d/ & /g/). Plosives are formed by completely blocking the airflow somewhere in the vocal tract, and then suddenly releasing it. This sudden ‘explosion’ of air is what forms the sound. The closure can be formed with both lips closed as in the two bilabial plosives /p/ and /b/, but there are also other places of articulation, e.g. at the alveolar ridge (/t/ & /d/) or the velum (/k/ & /g/). I explain what aspirated plosives are and next, we will have a look at the typical spelling for all six plosive sounds. Last but not least, we will go over some important minimal pairs. ** UPDATE: I am very sorry but the 2 example words I provide on aspiration are incorrect. Two correct examples with plosives that are aspirated would be: cat, top, pack - with the aspirated plosive in initial position. **

      Aspiration occurs in unvoiced plosives (/p/, /t/,/k/) if the sound is the first sound in a stressed syllable. 'pa' in company is not stressed and the /p/ not aspirated. But the /k/ sound in 'com' is in a stressed syllable and it's aspirated.

    In Korean language, /g/,/b/,/d/ sounds exist. But these sounds don't exist in the initial of words, only in the middle or end of words. Many Koreans mispronounce 'Girl, Glass, Bad, But,Down,etc' as 'Curl, Class, Pad, Putt,Town, etc'.

    I'd say, the consonants d, t, and n are not alveolar, but dental
    They're non-sibilant consonants and relate to the dental fricatives, which are not sibilant, if they were alveolar, they'd be "sibilant plosives" and would relate to the sibilant alveolar fricatives and not the non-sibilant dentals.

      Yes, it is a nasal = both lips are closed and stay closed during the sound production and the air escapes through the nose. I hope this helps! 😊
