How to pronounce dʒ?

The /dʒ/ sound (as in "judge") is a voiced, two-part consonant: first, you briefly stop airflow with your tongue tip behind your upper teeth (like a /d/), then release it with friction over the roof of your mouth while vibrating your vocal cords (like a soft /ʒ/ or "zh" sound). Think of saying "d" and "zh" quickly together as one sound, often spelled 'j', 'g' (in 'general'), 'dg' (in 'bridge'), or 'ge' (in 'age').
