Is the ch in technology different from the ch in Bach? I thought both were pronounced as a k.
- shocks 14y agoYes. The 'ch' in Bach is difficult to pronounce. There is no English word that even contains this sound. My suggestion is to look for a YouTube/similar video of someone saying the word! :) Maybe this could help. https://stanzebla.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/how-to-pronounce-bach-the-composer/ https://stanzebla.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/how-to-pronounce-... >> When you say a “ck” or “k” you lift a part of your tongue up to your palatine and tongue and palatine get contact. Then the tongue goes down fast and clicks. You don’t do that with a “ch” in german. To pronounce a german “ch” the tongue must not get contact with the palatine. Instead, let your tongue lie behind your teeth, drag it a bit to the back and try to narrow the larynx, now exhale. That’s a german “ch”. It sounds like the wheezing of Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (the original trilogy).
