Reply to:	How do you get a long K-sound? (nt) by Andy ;—)

Try saying an ordinary English word like "look", "back" or "tricky". First with as short K-sound as possible and then with a longer K-sound. With a longer K-sound you just linger longer on the K.

I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."

        interesting, I never noticed that before! nt - Mar Apr 5 2006, 7:21:12 AM
        I did! I always thought, K was an explosive sound. But I realise that making explosions last longer may cause some difficulties … nt - Andy ;—) Apr 5 2006, 6:24:55 AM
