    Hi guys! I had made a couple of mistakes in this video, so I took it down, made the changes, and then uploaded it again. That's why you might get two notifications for the same video. I apologise for any confusion!

    Thirty three thanks Max. A great video that will help my French and Spanish speakers with the ‘th’ sound. I am an English guy working as an English language Tutor online. Your understanding of how to teach English language skills is second to none. Take care.

    A QUESTION: If our vocal cords DO NOT vibrate when we whisper, so how on Earth can we still pronounce voiced sounds? I can totally produce the Z sound, for instance, when I'm whispering, so how is it possible to produce voiced sounds without vocal folds vibration?

      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому +2

      Haha, I was sure someone would ask that! I almost included something about it in this video, but I didn't want it to be too long. There are some general rules, but I think it's normally best just to learn the pronunciation of each individual word.

    @adamearth3102 4 роки тому +2

    Some native English speakers change "TH" voice to "V" sound and voiceless to "F" sound.

  • @chrili4069
    @chrili4069 6 років тому

    About the Spanish (and Italian,...) r-sound: I'm German (and not from the Bavarian part of Germany), so I wasn't able to pronounce it. Then I wanted to learn Spanish, and my Spanish teacher said 'No no no, you cannot pronounce the r the German way, you MUST learn to roll it. He advised me to say dt dt dt dt - hardly without a vowel sound between them - because the movement of the tongue behind the front teeth is quite similar to the movement when you are rolling the r. So wherever I was (waiting for the bus, not being able to fall asleep, whatever) I was saying dt dt dt... And finally, finally, after about a year!, I started producing the r I was aiming for! Yeah! And it became better and better. And then - when I no longer needed it - someone told me such a good way to practise it: take this very silly German sentence "Brot und Brötchen, Brühe und Braten, bringt die Braut dem Bräutigam." But instead of every r after the b say a d. So you say: 'Bdot und Bdötchen, Bdühe und Bdaten, bdingt die Bdaut dem Bdäutigam.' 😂 It sounds absolutely hilarious, it is so much fun, and most of all - it is so effective!!! Suddenly your tongue begins fluttering about and making the Spanish r instead of the 'wrong d'! I should've known that before!
    I know you are quite an expert in German. Can you say this 'Bdot und Bdötchen'-sentence? 😁😎

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому

      I tried it, and you're right, it's similar to saying a Spanish/Bavarian R, and it's certainly good for the tongue!
      I find the German R much easier! (At least the standard German R ;).)
      Btw, your English is excellent!!

    • @chrili4069
      @chrili4069 6 років тому

      English with Max Thank you! It is so lovely that you tried! (In fact I teach English - to beginners - so my English should be OK. I'm quite good at reading, writing is ok, speaking is ok but more difficult, but the most difficult thing for me is listening (understanding). As soon as a person has an accent or as soon as people are talking together, it is really hard for me to understand. And the most difficult thing is understanding films, TV series and comedy. Oh dear! Very frustrating. 😕 So I keep watching English speaking videos to get as much input as possible! 😊)

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  6 років тому

      I understand :). Even though I lived in Germany for a year and I worked on my German a lot, there are still some accents that I struggle with (I think mainly Bavarian ;)). And yes, comedy can be very hard! I don't know if you've seen my videos about movies and TV shows, but I mention that. It's great that you keep watching things, though!

As long as I'm your student, I'll be able to achieve my goal.English is my passion, my goal is to be able to communicate with confidence as a speaker and a patient listener.I don't mind I can't speak like a native English speaker or I have no foreign accent.I was not born into the language, but I'm the NEW SPEAKER of the world.Thanks so much.Have a wonderful beautiful day.I'll see you soon next time.Take care , cheers, my techer Max.

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  5 років тому

      And I like your attitude. Lots of English learners think that they should lose their accents and try to speak like native speakers, but it's really not necessary. Learning a foreign language is about being able to understand others and to communicate with confidence. 👍👍

    • @EnglishwithMax
      @EnglishwithMax  3 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately there aren't really any rules to know when we use the voiced TH and the unvoiced TH. If you're unsure, it's best to look up the word in a dictionary that has phonetic transcriptions as well as audio files, such as this one:
      dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/that
      I hope that helps!
