Your categories confuse me. For one thing, "X" isn't an English phoneme; the letter "x" typically represents a /ks/ sound, and /x/ is something different. "soft" and "strong" aren't terms I've ever encountered before. #4 is classified as "dental", but there's nothing dental about those sounds; "q" (well, /kw/, really), "w", and "oo" are labial, and "r" and "sh" are just entirely miscategorized. #6 looks like an /l/, but not at all like either "th" sound in English, which requires the tongue to be between the teeth, not behind them. #7 says that "strong 'E'" is a high-front vowel, but /e/ is a mid-vowel, and /i/ is a high vowel.
Finally, #11 is way off. "ch" is in no way a semi-vowel; /j/ is a semi-vowel, insofar as it's the sound we represent with "y" when it's used as a consonant ("you" = /ju/), but "j" (which is similar to "ch") is an affricate, consisting of "d" + "zh". Moreover, the picture you've got there--lips open, teeth closed--doesn't really correspond to much of anything, not to a semivowel nor to the affricates.
I appreciate that you based this quiz on someone else's information, but that information is deeply misguided. |
