ENGLISH STOP CONSONANTS (PLOSIVES)
Stop consonants are weak, low and quiet at the end of words. We stop
the consonant sound and don’t open our lips or tongue again, but at the
beginning of words are strong and long. We stop the consonant sound
for a very short time and open our lips or tongue again.
