اليوم عِنْدِي رِحْلِة السَاعَة سِتِّة المَغْرِب من بَيرُوت لَإسطَنْبُول.
حَجَزْت التَذْكِرَة قَبِل يَومَين مْشَان هَيك كَانِت كْتِير غَاليِة.
عَلَى كُلٍّ, لازم أَكُون بِالمَطَار قَبِل سَاعْتَين, بس أنا بْحِب أَرُوح قَبِل تْلاتِة سَاعَات لأنو الوَاحِد مَا بْيَعْرِف شو مُمْكِن يْصِير.
أَخُوي رَح يِجِي لَهَون لَمَّا يخَلِّص شِغِل مْشَان يْوَصِّلْنِي للمَطَار بْسَيَّارْتُو.
هالمَرَّة حَجَزْت الكِرْسِي جَنب الشُبَّاك مُو مِتل المَرَّة المَاضْيِة كَان بِالنُص.
بس والله خَايِف يْحَكُّونِي مْشَان الوَزْن, لأنو عِنْدِي تلاتة كِيلُو زْيَادِة بِالشَنْطَة.
بس رَح آخُد مَعِي مَصَارِي زْيَادِة مْشَان إِذَا حَكُّونِي إِنُو لَازِم إِدْفَعْ مْشَان الوَزن.

Velar consonants are sounds you make with the back of your tongue touching the soft palate, also called the velum. It's the fleshy bit at the back of the roof of your mouth, near your uvula (the little dangly thing).

Production:
Raise the back of your tongue up to touch the velum. Airflow is blocked completely for a moment.

Examples in English:
/k/: This is the voiceless velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "kit" or "cat."
/g/: This is the voiced velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "game" or the "g" in "going."
/ŋ/: This is the velar nasal, the sound at the end of "sing" or "long." Notice how air can flow out your nose while making this sound.

Other interesting facts:
The sound /k/ is actually one of the most common consonant sound across all human languages! Velar consonants can be influenced by nearby vowels. They might move slightly forward in the mouth (called "fronting") before front vowels like /

i:/ or /ɪ/ or move back (called "retraction") before back vowels like /u/ or /ʊ/.

Some practice tongue twisters:
Kate keeps giving up in the morning
My gran’s going to see the king in the Congo
Can a king conquer a sinking kangaroo
Kick the giggling goblins guarding the gold
Kevin clung to the clinging kangaroo
