    query

    What do English background speakers usually substitute or approximate with if they can’t pronounce ع ? I’m not saying I want to cop out and default to that, but I want to make sure I’m not thinking I’m doing it right when I’m actually just using an English consonant in its place. I watched the video and tried to centre the place of articulation in my throat, kind of where a glottal stop would be. I’m reading up on the phonetics of the sound here too though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_pharyngeal_fricative
