This contrastive analysis allows us to present the main characteristics of consonants in Chinese and Slovak. The comparison of the point of articulation as well as the manner of articulation of individual consonants represents the basis for conducting a contrastive analysis. Based on the findings, it is possible to identify similarities and differences among the consonants in both languages. In the process of learning the correct pronunciation of Chinese consonants, it is necessary to devote attention to differences as the source of students' incorrect pronunciation, therefore it is important to select a suitable teaching method for learning the correct pronunciation of consonants in Chinese, which are not present in students’ mother tongue.
