Z Sound - How to use Speech Blubs to learn the Z [z] consonant

The S and Z sounds are often studied as a pair because they sound very similar, and both sounds are made in the same part of the mouth. There are some differences. The S sound is voiceless, and the Z sound is voiced. What does all of this mean and how to practice it using our app? Read this article to find out.

The Z sound develops at the age of 5 as a final or medial sound and later as an initial sound at the age of 7.
