ENGLISH PLOSIVES

English has six plosive consonants that have three different places of articulation like: bilabial, alveolar and velar. Also, plosives can occur in the initial, medial and final position. In the initial position we can realize that the sounds are kind of little voincing and when we release the sound we can realize that the air which passes trough the vocal cords makes a sound like h. It is called aspiration. In the medial position depends on the syllables that are precede to notice if they are stronger or not, but usually it wouldn't be so strong as the initial and final position. And the final position we can realize that the pronuntiation of the sounds p, k, t are shorter, they almost are voiceless.
