In the answer to comment “Trouble with certain sounds” by Greg S was mentioned that for pronunciation of sounds such as “k” the bounce is the best approach. Could you explain me what does the bounce exactly mean? Does it mean that when I am saying the word e.g. computer, I have to say co-co-co-computer? I have usually big trouble with sounds as “k, g, t, d, p, b” and smooth prolonged speech doesn’t always help me, I have silent blocks. I feel that I have little coordination in articulation of the first consonant and the second sound which is next. And how do you recommend to say the word e.g. “tree” ? Two consonants at the beginning are even more difficult to say and such words are also very common in Czech language. Thank you for your answer. Jiri
