A PLACE OF INTEREST I VISITED
Last year, I visited the Ikogosi Warm Spring located at Ekiti state and it was a really great experience, seeing this unique feature of nature, which produces warm and cold water from the same rock formation.
The Ikogosi Warm Spring is a source of awe to tourists, as it features a warm spring flowing side by side with a cold spring, originating from close proximity. They come together at a meeting point and flow together with each retaining its temperature of being warm and cold. The meeting point of the spring is what serves as a tourist attraction for visitors. To learn more, click here

Consonant sounds are sounds that are produced with partial or total obstruction to the vocal cords. Consonant sounds are classified according to their voicing, place of articulation and manner of articulation.
The /t/ sound is a voiceless, alveolar plosive sound. When it is pronounced, the tip of the tongue goes up to the roof of the mouth, and the upper and lower teeth meet and are parted as the sound is produced.
It is a voiceless sound; hence, the vocal cords do not vibrate during the course of its pronunciation. To learn more, click here
CONTRASTING VOWEL SOUNDS /p/ AND /t/:
Consonant sounds are sounds that are produced with partial or total obstruction to the vocal cords. Consonant sounds are classified according to their voicing, place of articulation and manner of articulation.
The /p/ sound is a voiceless bilabial plosive sound. When it is pronounced, the upper and lower lips meet, and that is what makes it a bilabial sound. And it is plosive because there is a sudden release of air when it is pronounced.
The /p/ sound is voiceless; hence, the vocal cords do not vibrate during the course of their pronunciation. To learn more, click here
SPEECH WORK: CONSONANT SOUNDS /f/ AND /v/
Consonant sounds are sounds that are produced with partial or total obstruction to the vocal cords. Consonant sounds are classified according to their voicing, place of articulation and manner of articulation.
The /f/ sound is a voiceless labiodental fricative sound. During pronunciation, the upper teeth is placed on the lower lip, and air is released as it is produced.
It is a voiceless sound; hence, the vocal cords do not vibrate during the course of its pronunciation.

The /h/ sound is a voiceless glottal fricative sound. When it is pronounced, the tongue is lowered in the mouth, the lips are apart and the vocal cords do not vibrate, since it is a voiceless sound.
When producing the /h/ sound, the mouth can take any shape, depending on the next sound following it in a word.
