How to make the /ʒ/ and /dʒ/ sounds:
The /ʒ/ is the voiced equivalent of /sh/. Put your finger on your larynx, make the /sh/ sound, then add your voice. That is the /ʒ/ sound in the second g in garage.
The /dʒ/ is made by stopping the /ʒ/ at the beginning by touching the roof of your mouth to the top of the palate. Make the /ʒ/ and practice by touching the tongue to the roof of your mouth. You are actually making the /d/ before the /ʒ/.

Jane was a professor of geological engineering at Georgetown University. On several occasions, she had arranged to give workshops at an engineering convention in Geneva. The budget of the trip was just enough to bring a graduate student with her, Giovani, who had never been to Europe and jumped at the chance with great pleasure. The exposure to so many cutting edge ideas and influential engineers was a great chance for him.
