English Consonant Sounds

On a Word document, create a table where you can summarize the first consonant
sounds studied in Unit 5. Next to each consonant sound, create two other columns.
One for the manner of articulation; the other one, for the place of articulation. On one
the last column, write one sample word for each consonant sound. Make sure you
post words that are different from the ones posted by your classmates.
