Now, just before I give you an example, to be clear, the articulators are the lips, the tongue, the hard and soft palate, and teeth.

Now, just before I give you some examples, just to be clear that the articulators are the tongue, and lips, and teeth, and hard and soft palate.

Well, a good definition of consonance sounds is that it is a sound whereby the articulators either touch or almost touch and then releasing suddenly or slowly or they hold their position.

Now, we do have 3 consonants that don't follow that rule exactly, in fact, they don't touch, the articulators don't touch with these three consonants, instead the articulators approximate with one another.

我们有三个辅没有完全遵守这个规则，事实上，在发那三个时候发并不接触，而是彼此非常接近。

And with the OO vowel sound, as in 'who', 'shoe' and 'move', the lips are rounded and the back of the tongue is high but again, nothing actually touches, it just, the articulators just hold a shape.
