      Rachel's English Hello from Afghanistan!
      Rachel thanks again for another amazing video! Mostly it is hard when there are many th’s as you said: “through the teeth!” Hope u make more videos illustrating how to master that! And please do some videos on how to discern an accent! Meaning when I choose a video to learn sometimes I end up with an accent which is not standard American and the words used in it won’t be of any use in American English! Like Australian... it is hard to know whether the words, sentences and even phrases that is used American or not! Thanks

    My advice to everyone is try to make it without thinking because when you force it , it comes out heavy on your and wrong.

    All the tips are significant about the TH sound this video is very helpful for every American English learner and the online excerpt is so awesome I liked it a lot, besides the tip, no 4 change how you think of it do not think of it the tongue tip come through the teeth very top the tongue pressing up on the bottom of the top front teeth TH light press up bottom of the front teeth allow free flow air thanks

  • @wanzhuzuo8331
    @wanzhuzuo8331 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks for your video, it's very helpful.
    The following are my learning notes.
    Tip 1: TH is not a stop consonant, no stop, no pressure.
    Tip 2: It’s just the very tip of the tongue that comes through the teeth.
    Tip 3: Think of it as the very top of the tongue pressing up on the bottom of the top front teeth.
    Tip 4: There is a voiced and an unvoiced version of this sound.
    Tip 5: there is a shortcut you can do for the voiced TH when it begins an unstressed word.
    Tip 5: there is a shortcut you can do for the voiced TH when it begins an unstressed word.
    For these cases, you don’t actually need to bring the tongue tip through the teeth. you can press it behind the teeth.
    TH, tongue lightly touching the bottom of the top front teeth, think.

    I'm enjoying my learning through this channel. One of the most common mistakes or perhaps, innocent errors we make is the pronunciation of that dreaded 'TH.' I've always been using the 'Thank' and 'The' tips, to help me consciously replay them in my mind before I utter any word that bears the 'TH' sound. Thank you very much for this and other lessons on your channel. From a small town in Malaysia.

    thanks for your lesson. It's super useful. I liked the common mistake between the D and d sounds. It shows me that I need to be aware of my tongue position to have a really distinct sound. Also, it's really helpful when you used the video teaching the student in order to explain your point because it seems like resonating with me. The last reason I liked this video is because it's so adorable when you taught your son how to pronounce the TH

    This is, hands down, my favorite TH-themed video you've made so far!! Awesome stuff. I'd just like to say that 0:48 is true for the General American accent, but I've learned over the years of living in America that there are native dialects where /ð/ and /θ/ do become dental stops (the tongue still touches the teeth, but there's no flow of air). Some speakers also switch from fricatives to stops in fast speech, while others don't. Just an observation.

    Wow.... Your son is adorable for sounding "th". I think Stoney's pronunciation of "TH" sounds like Cockney accent for "TH" to "F". Yes, For The Information, "TH" cluster in Cockney accent is changed into "F". For example : "think" become "fink", "three" become "free", etc. It's not occurred in UK. Australian accents (I mean Broad accent) and some American accents (Maybe somewhere) have type of this. But, because he's still young, he absolutely needs practicing more and more. That's my explanation........

    Hey Rachel, the most difficult sound to me is ah, aw, uh and aa. I've been studying again and again all these sounds for so long. I think I can make the uh and aa sounds but aw and ah still stay confusing when I say words such as law, long, dog ect. sometimes it comes out like the british au and some times like ah. I've got your e-book but I think I still need a whole video comparing all these sounds more extensively in one unit. These sounds are the last ones I can't master. If there will be and other requests about these sounds, please be kind to create a new extended video. Greetings from Greece
