Sounds to watch
Weak syllables
The unstressed syllables use a short, relaxed uh (schwa). Rushing through them lightly is correct; giving them a full vowel sounds unnatural.
The a in cat
Open the jaw wider than for eh and spread the lips slightly. The a in cat is a distinct vowel, not eh or ah.
The ch and j sounds
Ch and j start with a full stop of the air (t or d) and release into sh or zh. Without the stop they collapse into sh and zh, and "cheap" becomes "sheep".
