Soft consonants

mäkké spoluhlásky

The letters č, š, ž, ď, ť, ň, and ľ represent distinct consonants.

Treat marked consonants as distinct sounds, not decorated letters.

The caron changes the consonant sound. Treat each marked letter as its own sound rather than decoration.

Practice minimal contrasts slowly, then place each sound in a short phrase.

c / č plain / caron

s / š plain / caron

For č, š, and ž, raise the tongue slightly and let the sound pass further back in the mouth.
