Stick your tongue between your teeth a TINY bit, touching both sets of teeth onto your tongue. Your tongue should be hidden behind your bottom lip (don't over think that, though. Just don't put much effort into exposing your bottom teeth). NOW.......(ok, now I tried to find out what I do to make this sound and....I have no idea. I'm grunting and humming like a moron, trying to give you good clear instruction. But I am native! I don't know how I do this, but I see why Asia doesn't do it.) Ok I am BACK! So: use your voice box. Your tongue might block your breath, Or it might give no obstruction.....your tongue should PARTLY block the airflow. When your voice box is shaking your airflow, and the tongue is partly obstructing the airflow, there should be a humming sound, like the 'Z' Sound, coming from our teeth. It might feel as though your tongue is vibrating between your teeth.
Ok, I thought about it some more. I think I can give a cleaner instruction! The instructions ai just gave are for the SUPER expressive TH sound. We mostly use that for heavy emphasise. Try this instead: You have a "de" sound, right? Like "dead people"? When you make that sound, it is a splosive sound made by your tongue blocking the airway, touching the alveolar ridge. Make DE several times, but make sure to have your teeth seperated a tiny amount, OK? DE DE DE DE DE. Don't let your teeth touch at all. Now, make the same sound, but touch the gap of your teeth with your tongue tip. The pressure in your airway should build, because your tongue is blocking the flow until you release it. Check with your nearest English speaker, but I believe you are now fluently THITHATHETHEM all day! It should sound SUPER close to the DE sound. You might not even hear it, but I think an Englishman will. Please tell me if you try this out!

As a Chinese who grew up in the US most of my life, English was an okay language for me since in kindergarten(this was still in China btw), we had little activities to practice our English, so I already knew some English when moving here, and in 1st grade, in the US, I could understand most of what the teacher is saying, luckily the teacher was Chinese or could speak Chinese would translate the things to Chinese so I would understand. Then in second grade, I had to move to another school and in that school, they knew that I didn’t understand or speak English well, so they would put me in this program, which would send the program teacher to your class and come get you in the middle of a lesson to teach you some English. All I could say is that for me, a Chinese person, is that English was surprisingly easy for me.

My mother tongue is Tamil (Indian language), I lived in India until after half way through first grade. Then my dad brought our family to the US. I was taught English alphabets in a separate class in India, but I still didn't know enough to put sentences together and have conversations. I got thrown into America without being able to speak. I only had one friend, and we just became friends from making funny noises (ex. thunthi thunthi). Within that half a year, I watched people, listened to the teacher's lessons, and from just that I figured it out. By second grade, I could finally understand what people were talking about, and I liked to read books too. I wasn't too talkative but I made an effort. Those efforts built up, and once I reached third grade, I was the hotshot of the school. I was easily able to make conversation, and made a good group of friends. Those skills evolved into me getting people that hate me, to making them be my friend (That skill came in middle school). So TL;DR, English is lightwork, you just have to throw yourself on the deep end. Also a little note, I never had the Indian accent because I never asked my parents for help in English. I think also what helped was by the time I reached second grade, I was speaking at home in full english. Pretty sure that's how my mom also learned to understand English because she didn't take any courses in India.
I hesitated and didn't say "I love you." Neither did you. Now I feel empty inside. Life's too short. Live without a filter. I don't regret what I do; I regret what I don't do.
English not being a hard language is actually a relief to me. My gf is indian and I'm learning Hindi. So many times "I learned English and it's a very hard language", like man we have 26 curvy little shapes you guys have six bajillion

It's actually pretty easy to learn English (from the perspective of a native speaker of Urdu). In comparison learning my native language is hard. I swear English is so easy to write, it's so quick. Urdu though... *shudder*
As a German, English was pretty easy to learn if I don't have to explain the grammar rules. But German is.... German is terrible for non natives. Like our shtick with Nominativ, Genitiv and Dativ and the Akkusativ. And most importantly the ch sound, especially the soft one that most non Germans never hear in their entire life. But I have a feeling Japanese could be quite easy to learn for me after I learn the pronounciation. The worst part would be learning how to read.
@@Nikita_Akashyathe English language has been shaped by the repeated occupation of england by foreign cultures, namely Rome, France, the Normans, the Vikings, and Germanic colonizers. English has a germanic base, but with almost 40% romance language word origins its not like other germanic languages. Its also a descriptive language (so not higher authority to dictate what is and isn't a word, the dictionary follows the people not the other way around). Add in some other factors like the near absence of grammatical gender or regular verb conjugation, and its no wonder English is super good at "stealing" words from other languages. We regularly joke the English is infact 3 languages in a trenchcoat pretending to be 1 language because it kind of is. (This is also why so many of our rules have a bunch of exceptions, words stolen from french or latin or japan don't need to obey the original rules for spelling. I'm sure this is the source of many headaches for people trying to learn English.)

Right like even southern accents are so much better. I lived in the north my while life and just moved it Texas and I had to do a double take when my teacher said “Nevada” but hold up they said “na-vah-dah” like with “O’s” but I say na-va-duh. This accent stuff is real weird too. Tip: if you ever go to Texas and say pa-CAN and not pe-CON your in a real bit of trouble
Meanwhile, in about 13 years I have reached a level of fluency in English that makes me sometimes have trouble with translating sentences back into my mother tongue. It's mostly because they are so different in their sentence structures but sometimes it's funny to tell english-speaking people that Finnish is so hard that even though I have been learning it since birth I still struggle. I speak two languages (Finnish and English) in a "I understand equally little about scientific articles"-way and Swedish in a "I was forced to learn this for 6 years in school yet still somehow know exactly two words"-way and also conversational Italian. Most people in Finland know at least 3 languages.
MY PORTUGUESE TEACHER SAID THE SAME ABOUT PORTUGUESE LOOOOL SHE WAS LIKE "WE HAVE 99 WOMEN AND 1 MAN IN ONE SITUATION BUT WE STILL HAVE TO USE "OS" (masculine article), IT'S SO SEXIST"

@@summer-gj3oc Benjamin Franklin once sent over all the European measurements over to the US while he was serving in France. He gave it the highest priority and sent it on an armed ship. While on the way it got ambushed by pirates and it never got to America. So in theory if that ship hadn't been seized you'd have the metric system now. (The story might not be completely accurate but who cares)
Pro tip: English spoken in the UK does not use articles (the, a, an, etc..) nearly often as American English. UK: "Is baby still in hospital?" US: "Is _the_ baby still in _the_ hospital?"

It may sound strange to people, I'm Croatian and English is second nature for me. I guess Cartoon Network did the job when I was a kid and my brain just soaked up the language. I did learn English in school and the school taught me about 10%, the rest is just having conversations in English and having all my phones in English, my Windows on PC in English and so on. It's like I managed to learn Croatian and English simultaneously when growing up.
Fun fact: the British tend to add unnecessary letters in words to make them sound more fancy or look more fancy. For example, the person who originally coined the term Aluminum was Sir Humphrey Davy, a British chemist. After getting the word published in the Oxford dictionary, he then had a change of heart and wanted to call it “Aluminium” just because it sounded fancier. So he then campaigned to have it changed to Aluminium for no reason other than to make it sound more fancy.
In French, some letters are doubled just because monks copying books were paid per letters, so adding a letter here and there could make them slightly richer. And that's about the most logical thing in French.
@@robertaries2974 you can actually look it up on Merriam Webster. They have an entire article (UA-cam doesn’t like links). Essentially the English chemist originally called it Alumium, then went to Aluminum, then changed his mind and wanted to call it Aluminium. This was done in 3 separate scientific papers in England around 1809-1812. This had havoc on the dictionaries printed for English and Americans. “Aluminum” was first published in 1828 for the American dictionary “An American Dictionary of the English Language”. “Aluminium” wasn’t published until Webster’s 1909 dictionary. In the 1934 Webster’s dictionary, it termed “aluminium” as “especially British”.
For the record, aluminium is more consistent naming with other metals like sodium, calcium, magnesium, titanium, rhodium, etc (ok we're ignoring platinum). But also, I am most likely to still call it aluminum.

As a Chinese who grew up in the US most of my life, English was an okay language for me since in kindergarten(this was still in China btw), we had little activities to practice our English, so I already knew some English when moving here, and in 1st grade, in the US, I could understand most of what the teacher is saying, luckily the teacher was Chinese or could speak Chinese would translate the things to Chinese so I would understand. Then in second grade, I had to move to another school and in that school, they knew that I didn’t understand or speak English well, so they would put me in this program, which would send the program teacher to your class and come get you in the middle of a lesson to teach you some English. All I could say is that for me, a Chinese person, is that English was surprisingly easy for me.

My mother tongue is Tamil (Indian language), I lived in India until after half way through first grade. Then my dad brought our family to the US. I was taught English alphabets in a separate class in India, but I still didn't know enough to put sentences together and have conversations. I got thrown into America without being able to speak. I only had one friend, and we just became friends from making funny noises (ex. thunthi thunthi). Within that half a year, I watched people, listened to the teacher's lessons, and from just that I figured it out. By second grade, I could finally understand what people were talking about, and I liked to read books too. I wasn't too talkative but I made an effort. Those efforts built up, and once I reached third grade, I was the hotshot of the school. I was easily able to make conversation, and made a good group of friends. Those skills evolved into me getting people that hate me, to making them be my friend (That skill came in middle school). So TL;DR, English is lightwork, you just have to throw yourself on the deep end. Also a little note, I never had the Indian accent because I never asked my parents for help in English. I think also what helped was by the time I reached second grade, I was speaking at home in full english. Pretty sure that's how my mom also learned to understand English because she didn't take any courses in India.

As a German, English was pretty easy to learn if I don't have to explain the grammar rules. But German is.... German is terrible for non natives. Like our shtick with Nominativ, Genitiv and Dativ and the Akkusativ. And most importantly the ch sound, especially the soft one that most non Germans never hear in their entire life.

@@Nikita_Akashyathe English language has been shaped by the repeated occupation of england by foreign cultures, namely Rome, France, the Normans, the Vikings, and Germanic colonizers. English has a germanic base, but with almost 40% romance language word origins its not like other germanic languages. Its also a descriptive language (so not higher authority to dictate what is and isn't a word, the dictionary follows the people not the other way around). Add in some other factors like the near absence of grammatical gender or regular verb conjugation, and its no wonder English is super good at "stealing" words from other languages.
We regularly joke the English is infact 3 languages in a trenchcoat pretending to be 1 language because it kind of is. (This is also why so many of our rules have a bunch of exceptions, words stolen from french or latin or japan don't need to obey the original rules for spelling. I'm sure this is the source of many headaches for people trying to learn English.)

I speak two languages (Finnish and English) in a "I understand equally little about scientific articles"-way and Swedish in a "I was forced to learn this for 6 years in school yet still somehow know exactly two words"-way and also conversational Italian.

Fun fact: the British tend to add unnecessary letters in words to make them sound more fancy or look more fancy.
For example, the person who originally coined the term Aluminum was Sir Humphrey Davy, a British chemist.
After getting the word published in the Oxford dictionary, he then had a change of heart and wanted to call it “Aluminium” just because it sounded fancier. So he then campaigned to have it changed to Aluminium for no reason other than to make it sound more fancy.
In French, some letters are doubled just because monks copying books were paid per letters, so adding a letter here and there could make them slightly richer. And that's about the most logical thing in French.
Sounds like some American propaganda
@@robertaries2974 you can actually look it up on Merriam Webster. They have an entire article (UA-cam doesn’t like links).
Essentially the English chemist originally called it Alumium, then went to Aluminum, then changed his mind and wanted to call it Aluminium. This was done in 3 separate scientific papers in England around 1809-1812. This had havoc on the dictionaries printed for English and Americans.
“Aluminum” was first published in 1828 for the American dictionary “An American Dictionary of the English Language”. “Aluminium” wasn’t published until Webster’s 1909 dictionary. In the 1934 Webster’s dictionary, it termed “aluminium” as “especially British”.
For the record, aluminium is more consistent naming with other metals like sodium, calcium, magnesium, titanium, rhodium, etc (ok we're ignoring platinum). But also, I am most likely to still call it aluminum.
