Master the Pronunciation of "Aches"

Sound-by-Sound Breakdown

/eɪ/: open-mid front vowel gliding to close-mid near-high; jaw drops slightly then rises. Lip position neutral to slight spread. Common substitutions: /eː/ in some dialects; reduce glide in rapid speech.
/k/: voiceless velar plosive; tongue dorsum contacts soft palate; back of tongue rises; no aspiration change in isolation, but aspiration occurs in word-initial contexts.
/s/: voiceless alveolar fricative; tongue blade near alveolar ridge, airstream forward; keep lamina light to avoid frication drift.
/z/: voiced alveolar fricative; vocal folds vibrate; follow /s/ quickly in the same place, no split articulation.
Common substitutions: replacing /k/ with a glottal stop in rapid speech; voicing errors at the end with /s/ vs /z/ depending on following word; avoid trailing off of voice before final consonant.

Accent Variations

US: /eɪks/ with pronounced diphthong; final /z/ clearly voiced in plural use; non-rhoticity does not apply here; rely on clear /z/ voicing.
UK: crisp /ks/ with bright /eɪ/; slight reduction of vowel length before /k/; maintain final /z/ voice.
AU: similar to US/UK, but slight vowel quality differences; keep /eɪ/ bright but not overly centralized; maintain a crisp cluster before /z/.
