Hi guys! Have you ever wondered when to use the hard C or the soft C sounds? Or even wondered what's a hard C or what's a soft C? Well, I am here to help you. What are the hard and soft C sounds? C can make two sounds and the hard C sound is more common than the soft C sound. The hard C sound makes the sound as in cat. The soft C sound makes the sound as in cell. Now, if the letter after the C is I, E or Y, the C makes the sound soft C. If it's another letter, the C makes the sound hard C. So, when the C follows E, I or Y, it takes the soft C sound. When the C follows any other letter, for example, A, O, U, etc, it takes the hard C sound. These sounds can also come at the end of words. For example, pick Nick, Nick, hard C sound, C. These sounds can also come midway in a word. For example, by C, C, hard and soft C. Here is a list of some words with the hard C sound, at the beginning of words. Cat, can, cop, cow, cop, candle, carrot, coat, camp, card, curly. As you can see, they are not followed by E, I or Y. They are followed by another letter. Now, here is a list of some words with the soft C sound, at the beginning of the words. Cent, center, cereal, city, circle, circus, cycle, cyclone, symbol. Here are some other words with the soft C sound, midway or near to the end of some words. Ace, juice, price, recess, space, voice. Exceptions. Here in the word soccer. The C is followed by E, however, it will take the hard C sound and not the soft C sound. Here, the letter that follows each word is another letter. However, each word will take the soft C sound, muscle, Caesar, facade. Thank you very much. I hope this video was very helpful. And now you understand the soft C sound and the hard C sounds and the exceptions. Thank you and remember to subscribe. Bye!
