Learn how to pronounce final consonants like /t/, /p/, and /k/ clearly and confidently. In this episode, we explore why these plosive sounds are so important in British English and how dropping them can change meaning. You’ll also discover their voiced counterparts — /d/, /b/, and /g/ — and practise with word pairs that train your ear to hear and produce the difference. Mastering these crisp endings will make your speech clearer, sharper, and unmistakably British.
