	raindoctor  +  942875 Thu, 15 Oct 09 07:47 AM There are two issues: (1) heuristics used in phonics (2) phonetics g: /g/,  /dʒ/ c: /k/, /s/ /k/ is voiceless, whereas its counterpart /g/ is voiced. /s/ is voicelss; /dʒ/ is voiced. Velar consonants get softened (or voiced) before front vowels esp in derived-words: cf. electric vs electricity Given this background knowledge, what is your concern? raindoctor Joined on Sun, Apr 26 2009 Junior Member 67 Vowels, Consonants, Pronunciation, Phonetics, Phonics, Speaking, Teaching, Careers, Jobs, Children, Reading
