  • Do you know the two main pronunciations of ‘TH’ in English? These sounds don’t exist in many languages, which makes them even more challenging for English learners. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to pronounce both types of ‘TH’ sound, and I’ll go though some example words for you to practise on. This is an opportunity to learn some vocabulary, too! www.engvid.com/pronunciation-...

    Thank you Gill! 'th' appears in almost every sentence we speak. Thus, we practice it frequently too. These lessons are so valuable because, words we tend to take for granted and may not be mindful of their pronunciation are highlighted here listening to your lessons. 😊

    Dear Ma'am Gill,
    Your lesson on the pronunciation of TH,both voiced and unvoiced is good to learn for the sake of learning correct spellings of certain words and is a good vocal exercise too for pronouncing the words accurately.
    Hope,you will come up with such interesting lessons at regular intervals.
    Ma'am, you are a very sincere and dedicated teacher so i feel quite inspired while taking English lessons from you !
    Thanks !😊

    Interestingly, I associate the phonetics of the English language with the Hottentot language, with the whistling and clattering of the tongue, although of course all Norman languages ​​are very exotic and English phonetics are not the most rigid, such as Danish, Swedish and Dutch.

    For Hellenic🇬🇷 speakers this is a bit weird because in English, this diphthong is seen as one sound, sometimes is light and sometimes is pronounced heavier.
    In Hellenic🇬🇷 we have these two sounds but they are two different and totally different letters:
    *δ* and *θ*
    *δ* always makes a sound as in the words: this, that, those… etc
    *θ* always makes a sound as in the words: thank, theatre, Earth… etc
    They are two different letters, they are not a voiced and an unvoiced version of the same letter!

    • @sergmetlev8559
      @sergmetlev8559 3 місяці тому +2

      half of the English language consists of vulgarized hellenistic vocabulary))) and our languages, Greek Russian, are certainly Indo-European languages, however, English, like a dialect of the Frisian language, is full of Norman strange sounds, unusual for Indo-European languages. I have thousands of words that came into English from Russian and not a single American or British dictionary publishes the etymology of these words for political reasons. But the etymology of words like plug or pad is published by the Netherlands Leiden University and the Faculty of Slavic Indo-European Studies. so you probably understand me. In addition, the English language lacks a case system and a well-developed grammar. in general, for a Russian person, the English language seems very primitive - Kriol, a mess of a dozen adverbs and languages ​​with words whose meaning has been completely erased or inverted. British and American politicians subjected Ukrainian Surzhik to a similar destructive transformation, calling it “mova”. just like Polish where a vegetable is a fruit and a fruit is a vegetable. madness!

      I also wanted to share my observations with you, in the Hellenic language there is a beautiful word φῶς, which means light, and this word came into English in 2 versions, first as the word photograph, and a little later as the term particle of light. photon! no matter how “strange” it is, but for us it is very funny and absurd, but in the English language 2 of these cognate words are pronounced in a radical))) way incorrectly. in particular, the word photograph is pronounced [fotografi], and the word photon is pronounced [fëjthgöjn]. which is of course crazy madness.

    Now I realize: the way we learn these sounds in Russia is by seeing the as an alternative variations of "s" and "z" sounds. Looking at the from a perspective of them being the same sound, only voiced vs unvoiced gives an another idea of how to teach it to someone.

    The word "with" has been bothering me for ages. Is the "th" sound voiced or unvoiced? I've heard people say both. How is it pronounced it England?

      " in American English, you can use “practice” for all forms of the word, and, in UK and Australian English, you should use “practice” for the noun and “practise” for the verb."
