LESSON 8 OF 12
Your objective
Distinguish side placement from side-down and side-forward movements.
Understand the idea
A consonant with no following vowel is cued at the side. Side-down represents /uh/ in “um”. Side-forward groups /ah/ in “hot” and /oe/ in “oh”. The direction of movement matters, even when a flat illustration is your reference.
Side · Side-Down · Side-Forward
Side-forward involves depth; a static illustration is a reminder, not a motion demonstration.
A connection to remember

Check the connection
