 Can you say bride, drew, and glue? Well, if you can, and the resulting words are clearly identifiable, then you don't need my advice. But if the result is somewhat like bride, drew, and glue, or even worse, pride, true, and glue, then you have a problem with voice plosives, followed by a sonorant consonant at the beginning of words, that is, with voiced onsets. And this is a typical problem that applies to many Germans, even in their own mother tongue. Test yourself. Do you say Grieche when you mean Grieche? Do people understand Dreck when you mean Dreck? Or do they even hear the name Glas when you want to refer to Glas? Got the problem? Even though the initial voiced plosives in these words occur in both languages, Germans often seem to have problems with them in these special contexts. And this is a problem that also occurs when they speak English. So, what can we do to solve this problem? Well, the solution is quite simple. Practice these words, but use a nasal consonant that is homo-ganic with a plosive in front of it. So, bride becomes bride. Drew is slowly pronounced as drew, and glue becomes englu. And once you can do this, just shorten the initial nasal until it disappears. Here are some more examples. Block, block, block. Brow, brow, brow. Drove, drove, drove. And glow, glow, glow. And grow, grow, grow. And so on. I hope my advice helps and you will produce truly voiced onsets from now on.
