About this listen
Consonant clusters, for example /bd/, /vd/, and /rdʒd/, are series of consonants pronounced together, without any vowels in them. Consonant clusters are often pronounced so quickly that they seem to be a single sound. You can find consonant clusters in the beginning, middle and end of English words. Consonant clusters at the end of words are critical for understanding and pronouncing the past tense forms of verbs. so everyone clearly understands if the past or present is being spoken of.
Listen to Episode 116 to understand if you already master consonant clusters or need to study them more.
Listening to Episode 65, which discusses voiced and unvoiced sounds, discusses some of the more basic ideas of Episode 116, so consider listening to it first!
