Answer 2

Answer 3

does she know how to read?????

Answer 4

K and C have the sounds of choking and sneezing

sneezing makes this sound... AAAA"CH"OOOO (like "C")

choking on something will make this sound AAA"CCCKKKKK" (like "K")

Answer 5

This is difficult because How do you teach a deaf person to talk??? I never understood this anyway...

The only advice that I have for you is to teach her C and K just like she was taught A and B...

Answer 6

Tell her it is like clearing her throat.

Keep the middle of her tongue against the roof of her mouth and let the air pressurebuild up for a second then pull her tongue down to release it.

Answer 7

She's 25 and hasn't done it yet.  It's very difficult to teach because the sound is make in the back of the throat/roof of the mouth, not on the lips or tongue.  I don't think professional speech therapists have much luck teaching that particular sound.  

Imagine someone teaching you chineese but you can't hear it, only see it on their lips.  How well do you think you would do at copying it??  Now you can probably imagine her frustration at not being able to pronounce things clearly!

Answer 8

ok well write down on a piece of paper K=KAY and C=SEE ok hope it works or if you want to like this c=cer and k=ker
