Articulation Organs
The articulation organs are used to produce the language sounds,
which can be voiced or voiceless, according to the role the vocal
cords, also called vocal folds, play or not, when producing a sound.
Voiced and Voiceless Sounds
Feel your vocal cords putting your hand in your throat. Then produce, in a high voice, a simple sound: a, c, t, d, etc.
If you feel the cords vibrating then the sound is voiced.
If you feel the cords at rest, then the sound is voiceless.
How is the sound t compared with the sound d?
In English the sounds for t and d have a
very different articulation than in
Spanish.
Why is it so important to produce
well those sounds? Because those sounds are
fundamental to pronounce correctly the past tense forms of regular
verbs, and then be perfectly understood.
