This week's podcast is a lesson in relaxing a little bit about learning a specific sound. If you concentrate too much, it may cause you to panic and worry that you will never understand. Take a deep breath, relax, and understand that sometimes sounds can be confusing.
With the DG sound, at the end of a word, you will hear two different sounds. And that's okay. Relax. You will still be understood

Listen to these distinctly different pronunciations for the same letter. It all depends on which sound is following the letter X.
Here's the breakdown. If the sound after X is a consonant sound it will be pronounced "ks". If the sound after the X is a vowel sound and the next syllable is stressed (bigger, louder and longer) than it will sound like a "gz". Easy cheesy.
