HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE /dʒ/ SOUND - IPA Phonetics

HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE /dʒ/ SOUND

1. To create the /ʤ/. Air is briefly prevented from leaving 'the vocal tract' when 'the tip of the tongue' presses against 'the back tooth ridge' while 'the sides of the tongue press' against 'the upper side teeth'. 
2. The sound is aspirated when the air is released with friction (similar to the friction of a 'zh sound' /ʒ/)

*** The 'j sound' /ʤ/ is voiced (the vocal cords vibrate during its production), and is the counterpart to the unvoiced 'ch sound' /ʧ/.
