CONSONANTSw: pronounce this like the 'w' in water or awake
r: pronounce this like the 'r' in race or arise
l: pronounce this like the 'l' in light or align
j: pronounce this like the 'y' in yellow or yam
h: try saying 'w' as above, but don't use your vocal cords. Just use air like you are whispering. Similar to how Stewie from 'Family Guy' pronounces the 'wh' of cool whip except use your lips not your throat to tighten the air flow.
