00:00This is a voiceless consonant.
00:12You can hear it at the beginning of the word fat,
00:15in the middle of the word coffee,
00:17at the end of the word rough,
00:20and at the beginning and end of the word fluff.
00:23Now, did you see how I make this sound?
00:26Watch my lip and my top teeth.
00:30Now, you try.
00:34Listen and repeat after me.
00:36Fat, coffee, rough, fluff, okay.
00:51You may find it difficult to tell the difference
00:54between this voiceless sound, f,
00:56and its voiced partner, v.
01:00Listen carefully to hear the difference.
01:03For each example, I shall say the word with the voiceless sound first.
01:08Fan, van, leaf, leave,
01:12off, of, rifle, rival.
01:16Now, you try.
01:18Listen and repeat.
01:21Fan, van, leaf, leave, off, of, rifle, rival.
01:35Okay.
01:37Okay.
01:37Grazie.
