Hi.
English is not my mother tongue. So I'm confused sometimes with the
pronunciation.
In the Enlgish grammar book or the dictionary, the plural 's' sounds
like 'z' , for exemple in <tearchers, computers, chairs, etc>.
But actually when I listen to the pronunciation of the native speakers,
they pronounce it like 's', not 'z'.
Is this normal or colloquial or something else?
Bye.
