The plosive sounds in English are consonant sounds produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract. Plosives are oral stops with a pulmonic egressive airstream mechanism. They are [p], [t], [k], [b], [d], [ɡ].
These sounds are pronounced in a similar way as we do in Spanish language but there exists an important difference, they need to sound like a little explosion in our mouths.
In order to teach how to pronounce them we will ask our Primary pupils to place their hand in front of their mouths when pronouncing them in such a way that they will have to feel the explosion of air on their hand palm.
Some words that contain these sounds are: pathetic, tie, cube, paper, town, could. Listen to them in the podcast attached and then repeat them placing your hand palm in front of your mouth.
