The (ch) sound and the (j) sounds are produced in a similar way. Correct production of the (ch) sound often develops by 4 years of age. Difficulties with development may occur in children that have a history of ear infections or suffer a high frequency hearing loss due. Delays may also occur because of physiological defects, delayed speech, lateral lisps, or phonetic substitutions.
The (ch) sound is known as a palatal sound because it is produced at the point of interaction between the tongue tip and the hard palate. The hard palate is often referred to as the “roof of your mouth.” The (ch) sound is created at the palatal area as a result of voiceless airflow flowing from the vocal tract over the tongue and between the palate which is stopped and then released quickly creating an explosive, staccato sound. The (j) sound is produced the same way as the (ch) sound, but with your voice being turned on (with your vocal folds vibrating.)
The (ch) sound is considered an affricate or stop-plosive fricative which means airflow is completely closed (stopped) at a given point in your vocal tract and then followed by a release of air (plosive) through a narrow opening in the mouth.
The (ch) sound is really a combination of the /t/ and an (sh) sounds. Again, it's made by the tongue raising and then being placed in contact with the hard palate region.
The tip of the tongue touches the palato-alveolar ridge with teeth nearly closed.
Lips are slightly protruded and rounded. After emitting an airflow, your breath is held momentarily (stopped) at the point of contact, and then quickly released with the tongue tip (plosive release).
