    She is amazing! "is the " sound was exactly I was looking for! She made every possible sound with "the" and this is something English learner would be curious in one point of studying the language.

    Thanks for your video, it's very helpful.
    The following are my learning notes.
    1:57 at the The Stop T can be made with the tongue tip in position for the TH.
    Jaw drops for the AA vowel. As the jaw comes up, the tongue tip is still down, behind the bottom front teeth. It comes through the teeth for T sound. It never went to the roof of the mouth, the position of T. When I bring my tongue through my teeth, I’m in position for the TH, but I stop the air. Then make ð sound. Nest, the tongue tip comes back into the mouth and goes down behind the bottom front teeth, where it needs to be for either the EE vowel or the schwa in ‘the’.
    (简单版 Jaw drops for the vowel, tongue tip comes through the teeth, then back down for the vowel.)
    下巴下拉发æ的音(或者自然状态下发ə的音)。下巴上抬(此时舌尖向下),移动舌尖至两齿间,stop the air, 发 ð音,再发ə音。
    4:14 in the The N can be made with the tongue tip in position for the TH.
    In an unstressed syllable, the jaw barely drops for the IH vowel. Then, make N sound with the tip of my tongue through the teeth. Now the TH, and the tongue tip goes back in the mouth and down for the vowel ə.
    下巴下拉(极小,在非重读音节中)发 Ι 音,移动舌尖至两齿间,先发 N 音, 再发 ð音,再发ə音。
    5:36 is the We alter the TH by not bringing the tongue tip through the teeth, we presses it behind closed teeth.(S or Z 仍然正常发音)
    The jaw drops just a bit for the IH vowel and the tongue tip touches the back of the bottom front teeth. Next you’ll see the tongue tip move, it will point up. The tongue tip can either point up or down to make the S and Z sounds. I do both, depending on the word and the sounds around it. The teeth come together for the Z sound. It doesn’t come through the teeth for the TH! When the voiced TH begins a function word, like in the, these, this, we can do a shortcut. Rather than a tip coming through the teeth, TH-- it presses behind closed teeth. Important: it is not at the roof of the mouth.
    (简单版 Jaw drops for the vowel. Tongue tip up and teeth close for the Z. Tongue tip comes back down and touches the back of the closed teeth. Tongue tip is not at the roof of the mouth. And tongue tip down for the vowel in THE. )
    下巴下拉发 Ι 音,发Z音(Tongue tip down and teeth close), 再发ð音( 舌尖touches the back of the closed teeth),再发ə音。
    7:48 with the Just make one unvoiced TH, and connect the two words with it.
    The lips round for the W. When the lips part, the inside of the mouth looks dark. That’s because the tongue was lifted in the back for the W sound. As the tongue comes forward, the tip heads right for the position between the teeth. There’s the TH. Then the tongue tip goes back inside the mouth and down behind the bottom front teeth for the vowel. ‘With’ is usually pronounced with an unvoiced TH, and THE with a voiced TH. combine them. Just make one TH. Make it unvoiced, and connect the two words with it. A voiced TH would also be okay, but it’s much less common and it’s more complicated. So stick with the unvoiced TH.
    当 θ和ð连读时,只发一个 θ即可,也可以发一个ð(这种情况少见)。
    9:18 for the All you have to do is that quick tongue movement.
    ‘For’ reduces to ‘fer’. The bottom lip comes up to touch the bottom of the top front teeth. fff, Let air pass through. The tongue can be pulled back for the R, it won’t affect the F sound. For the R sound, the middle of the tongue shifts back and up and little. So the tip of the tongue isn’t touching anything. So the tongue tip is pulled back, and we simply bring it forward through the teeth for TH sound, the tongue tip was through the teeth for just a brief moment, just bringing the tongue quickly in and out.
    for 弱读成 fer,上门牙咬下唇发 F 音,(在发 F音的时候)同时发 R音,舌头中部向后缩并抬起,舌尖不接触任何部位。
    (此时,for音发好了,舌尖处于后缩的状态,接着发 the 的TH 音)
    快速向前移动舌尖至两齿间(舌尖在两齿间停留时间极短),然后发ə音。
    11:15 on the The N can be made with the tongue tip in position for the TH.
    Jaw drops for the vowel. The tongue tip is pointed down. Then the tongue tip comes up and out of the teeth. A quick, simple movement.

    Hi Rachel! I have a difficult time linking "ts"or "dz" consonant cluster to "the", every time I link them, I'll feel extremely uncomfortable and unnatural. Like "What's the score?" But I can't think of an example with dz. Thank you Rachel!!!

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  5 років тому

      Hi! Thanks for your question! These are challenging sounds to link together, for sure! I would say you probably want to relax your tongue for the TH consonant sound a bit more. If you are using tension in your articulators (tongue, jaw, lips) when creating this sound, it is very difficult to make quickly. You want to use your articulators flexibly as you move from one sound to the next, any extra tension will make it tricky to move quickly and still be clear. Practice these sounds very slowly, moving from one to the next slowly and deliberately to teach your tongue this new flexibility. Then over time you'll be able to build up more speed!

I did try it much time, so does it be like "is the": tongue is behind closed teeth? And sometimes, I hear some of Americans say "Even though" becomes "Even_nough" May the TH silent? Thank you.
