I appreciate that, Billy, but after the "x" sound you will notice that it makes no difference. I was trying to give Nick a way to practice saying "sixth" and "sixths" without getting too complicated.

I think I can say "siksffth" pretty good, is it common to say it this way?
The interesting thing is that one can notice vowel quality differences between sick, six, sixth and sixths. So the aural distinction does not come just from the final consonants, but it already happens at the vowel stage.
True, Little Tadpole, very true, but Nick isn't quite ready for those niceties, is he ?- 'E wants to find a proper "manor" to speak Cockney in, 'e does.
Meanwhile, some regular mnemonical exercises like "six thin wafers" will have to suffice. (And I do hope he will look over the previous suggestions.)
