In speech, we write out words phonetically, kind of like dictionaries do, but more confusingly. M-w.com says "\ ˈba-jər \" for "Badger." According to the International Phonemic Alphabet, "Badger" is /bęʤər/. I tried the materials I put together with my student and successfully got him to say "Badzer."
That does not sound right at all.
"I like to think of the [...] /j/ is a combination of the /d/ to a /zh/ sound."

They are not following the IPA. Supposedly they SLPs. I am not.
"‘J’ can be produced the same way with the combination of sounds being ‘d’ and ‘z’ (as in azure) or ‘g’ (as in beige). Follow the same guidelines above."
Eliciting sh, ch, j (jump) Sounds
"The `j' sound is made by saying the `d' sound and the `zh' sounds very quickly together. This may be another one that is best worked on by a speech-language pathologist."
