Archivesmy dad has one
in reply to a message by Yahalome
My dad uses Phonemes at work and told me of a site that has the complete listof 72 phonemes.
When he gives it to me, ill pass it on.
Again, I am canadian, and still have a bit of my french/native accent from when i used to live up north so i do pronunce some words rather strangly. That and one grandparent is scottish and the other austrian, and then have wierd ways of saying words that I have picked up.
But when i say tsh it has a sharp ending, whereas the sh doesnt give u that.
If i try to say church by saying 'tshurch' it does work, i see ur point, but u still dont get the hard sound that ch gives you.
Perhaps its more horrible accent which i hate!!!
I hope to stay in touch with this, thanks for your help

Oh, don't say that! I love accents! My mom can imitate a lot of accents-Southern USA, British, Aussie, etc. ;)
You almost have to consider sh as one letter, and say them like sTh, but I have an odd accent myself, so maybe it's just me. People are always saying I have "such a sweet accent", but my parents and brother don't have it. Also our family has shreds of Southern USA in our speech. I think I've picked up a lot of bits and pieces from my mom's imitations, too. Y :)
