Aspirated: with a puff of air. English p/t/k at the start of a word ARE aspirated - 'top', 'pot', 'cat'. These letters need no new sound, only a new shape. Mark them as 'you already make this sound'.
How to remember it
a-choo
ჩ is someone bent over mid-sneeze: a-CHOO. The sneeze is the puff of air — the same ch you say in 'chair'.
The shape: a figure bent double
