    According to the international phonetic alphabet they’re the same sound.

    Here is the IPA for drink: dɹɪŋk

    Here is the IPA for jury: d͡ʒʊɹi

    Mainly it’s noticeable for spanish speakers because the spanish D is pronounced closer to the english th or is unvoiced depending on where it is in a word.

      I think I may have always mispronounced one or both of these then.

      Man, English pronunciation, I swear.
