The 'th' is one of the hardest sounds to pronounce for me
For everyone, believe me
The "th" and "r" sound is the hardest for me.
I’ve been saying wrong for now 11 years and counting....it’s frustrating because I have to present a reading in a few days.......
Probably because i’m not used to the proper way of saying it.......instead I have been using my lips because I thought it was the proper way. But, I don’t have a problem with saying stuff such as ‘This’ or ‘That’ but when it is squished such as ‘Father’ or ‘Another’.
It was also hard for me but i practiced the th sound again and again and now it is clear for me .now i know how to pronounce the th sound and yes the r sound also.
Practice makes a man perfect.
Rachel you are the best... I've watching all your videos to improve my English...It really has helped a lot.... Thank you so much
Dear Rachel, I've decided to write you a small note, thanking you for your help. I enjoyed being taught by you immensely; you are an excellent English teacher and have inspired me to continue learning with an open mind. I appreciated all your hard work, it's meant so much to me. Once again, thank you so much for your time, expertise and patience.
Thanks for your video, it's very helpful.
The following are my learning notes.
0:42 This thing 【ðɪs θɪŋ】 S + θ 正常发音
Here the tongue comes through for the first TH sound, tongue tip stays just behind the bottom teeth as they come together for the S, and the tongue comes through again for the TH. So the movement from the S to the TH is quite simple. Teeth go from being closed, with the tongue just behind the bottom teeth to parting with the tongue coming through.
1:21 was that 【wəz ðæt】 z + ð that 非重读音节，ð发音时舌尖press behind where the teeth come together
Teeth close for the Z sound, but the tongue tip doesn't really come through the teeth for the TH. That's because you can get away with making the voiced TH sound, especially at the beginning of an unstressed syllable, by pressing the tongue behind the closed teeth. So, the tongue tip will press behind where the teeth come together, but not actually come all the way through like it does for the unvoiced TH.
2:14 Sit there 【sɪt ðɛr 】 stop T + ð 在TH的发音位置发stop T
Rather than the tongue going up into the stop T position, it simply comes out of the vowel, straight into the TH position. However, I don't leave the stop T out. I still stop the sound before voicing the TH ， so that we get the feel for the stop T. But rather than taking the tongue tip to the roof of the mouth, I make the stop while bringing the tongue tip through the teeth.
3:03 Of these 【əv ðiz】 v + ð 正常发音
The bottom lip comes up making contact with the top teeth for the V sound, then the lip pulls down and the tongue comes through the teeth for the TH sound.
3:35 Hope the 【hoʊp ðə】 P + ð 正常发音
The lips come together to make the P, and as they part, the tongue tip comes through the teeth to make the TH.
4:03 North star 【nɔrθ stɑr】 θ + ST （consonant cluster） 正常发音
The tongue comes through the teeth, to make the TH. Then the tongue tip pulls back and
touches just behind the bottom of the front teeth while the teeth close to make the S sound. Then the tongue tip will go up to the roof of the mouth to make the T.
4:40 With funny 【wɪθ ˈfʌni】 θ + F 正常发音
You'll be able to clearly see both mouth positions. Tongue comes through the teeth for the TH, and the bottom lip raises to touch the bottom of the front top teeth for the F sound.
5:14 Both will 【boʊθ wɪl】 θ + W 正常发音
Tongue comes through the teeth for the TH, then pulls back and the lips form the tight circle for the W while the tongue tip is just behind the bottom front teeth.
5:46 Health code 【hɛlθ koʊd 】 θ +K 正常发音
Tongue tip comes through the teeth for the TH. For the K, the tongue tip comes back in the mouth and goes down, touching behind the bottom front teeth. The back part of the tongue raises and touches the soft palate, which is why you see a dark space in the mouth.
6:22 South side 【saʊθ saɪd 】 θ + S 正常发音
Tongue tip comes through the teeth for the TH. Then the tongue tip comes back into the mouth and lightly touches behind the bottom front teeth while the teeth close to make the S sound.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing WanZhu!
兄弟口语练的咋样了
I thought I would never find a video explaining how to pronounce the TH following the S sound. It seemed so difficult but finally I can pronounce that combination of sounds without worrying that much. Thank you!!!
Rachel your videos and explanations are getting better and better!
Thanks so much!!
Thank Rachel so so so much. Your videos is so amazing. These help me improve my English skill a lots. You are really really the best teacher !!!
I love you Rachel !
From the deeeepest bottom of my whole red heart.
Thank you for making those useful and helpful videos for us who have been struggling with learning native pronunciation. Truly thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're very much welcome Belstis!
What an interesting lesson! Thank you so much, Ms. Rachel.
Thank you so much, Rachel. Your videos really help me solidify these sounds a lot. Thank you for sparing time and effort ❣ 🥰
Thank Rachel so much. After watching this video, I feel more confident with TH sound , which often drove me crazy before.
Hà Nguyễn That's great!!
+Rachel's English hi rachel's, this video is so wonderful, i love it so much. uhm, and i have a question : how do you pronunce the voice TH sound in the sentence : " i should have been there " . do you drop the TH and link the "n " consonant ? i'm lookforward your answer, thank you!
+Rachel's English It's very difficult to pronounce "is this"...
Thanks massif go 29th zip
Rachel Thank you so much, i really enjoy your classes, and I'm starting to practice with ur website!!
Yes, I would say those phrases are like 'sit there'. Tongue sort of takes both positions at the same time.
You are a fantastic English teacher! I'm a teacher myself (30 year of experience), and I am impressed.
We do say a TH -- sometimes with the tongue tip coming through the teeth and sometimes with the tongue tip just behind where the teeth come together. But for a stressed word like 'thinner', the tongue will come through the teeth. The tongue tip is down for the S, and through the teeth for the TH. It's just a transition to break down and practice over and over.
Hi Rachel, just watched this 2012 video for the first today, 2018 and it's amazing! Thanks a lot for teaching everything so well. I'm a big fan already.
God bless
My respects, Rachel.

Caio Bastos Great! Welcome!

I REALLY APPRECIATE
You are a good teacher. Your lecture is very helpful. Thank you ~ !!
Ótima aula de inglês!...Coloquem sempre a legenda em português!...gratidão pelas belas aulas;..estou aprendendo inglês do outro lado do mundo 😁😁👏👏
There are not strict rules that I am aware of, but if the next sound is voiced, then the ending TH of with might be voiced (preference/habit of speaker).
Some people will pronounce the final TH in with as a voiced sound instead of an unvoiced sound. But you can always stick with unvoiced.
Best, Rachel
Thank you so much. This pronunciation has been troubling me for a long time.
Thanks Rachel, as always very good explanation, thanks so much for your time
Great video. Thanks, Rachel.

You're so good at teaching English. I subscribed to you a few years ago and I've learned American pronunciation with your videos. Whenever I wonder how to pronounce some words smoothly, most answers lie in your videos. I hope your UA-cam will thrive further.
Thank you very much Seok-in!
I've been struggling to pronounce "th" for many years.
You solved most of my questions about 'th' and now I know how to practice "this".

Thank you so much .
I love your video so much.All your voice is clear :)
Thanks Rachel's! I've been looking for this for weeks. I am very sure there is another way to pronounce it when it was pronounce in a single words compared to when it was pronounce in link words example 'was that', but I just can't do it alone without guidance. Thanks for guiding me.
With your help, I am able to pronounce all the link words correctly. Big Love.
Thank you miss Rachel
Thank you so much. Such a great tip
A lot of non-natives make the [d] sound instead because that is what they hear. But we do place the tongue lower that the D sound position, so it's more like the TH.
thank you.
This video was really useful and detailed.
Thanks Rachel! I really enjoy your videos, I've been studying this language for quite a while and pronunciation is one of the things that I really try to emphasize.
I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Saludos desde Tijuana Mexico!
