      ​@@Sai_Bruh I feel that the voiced 'th' doesn't vibrate too much when native speakers used it. So I almost think is a 'd'. Does your 'th' vibrate when you pronounce it? "Thus" vs "Does" for ex?

      I never liked the TH sound, to be honest, so all should pronounce the TH sounds like a normal D or a half D or a T or a half T / airy T etc, because TH is the one sound that keeps English pronunciation from sounding really pretty to the ear, and it makes one’s mouth look funny, and even the words can sound funny, in a way! Three should be pronounced close to tree, not like that sound that is more similar to free! Then and breathe and that etc sound way better when pronounced den / breade / dat etc than they do when pronounced the way most pronounce them, which can sound close to zat / ven sometimes! Plus, there is a way to get a sound that is similar to the TH sound without making the funny face / mouth, which sounds a tad less airy or a bit fuller!

    Very informative. 'Th' is the only sound I have trouble pronouncing, even though I've reached fluency more than 5 years ago. However I don't speak it that much because there's no one for me to speak to. But I have tried for so long to get the sound right, always trying the way my highschool teacher showed when it came to tongue position but I was actually just making the 't' sound because my tongue was up and behind my teeth. Now at least I know how to do it properly and even managed to get it right a few times so I'm extremely grateful to this short video.

Put on headphones that have a mic, and it allows you to hear self to see how you sound. This is because you sound different than you think.

    Hi Emma, Everything is so great about your videos and your presentation - very professional, and thorough. I would like to make a suggestion as a fellow teacher that might tie up the distinction between the two sounds and allow your students to target the difference between them. In your final practice period, in the text area of your screen, you could annotate which words are using the voiced or unvoiced "th" by placing that IPA character below the associated "th".

      According to your name you might be a Spanish speaker. If that's the case, the TH in think is pronounced the way the people from Spain pronounce the c in number "cien" (not in sien). On the other hand, the voiced sound, the TH in "other" is similar to Spanish D betheen vowels, for example in "cada".

    A little suggestion is to leave a bit longer pauses to repeat ling sentences. Even though my English is advanced, I often can't finish on time.
    Thank you again for all your great videos!

      Sorry to comment on such an old comment, but you have a period (.) at the end of a sentence, and punctuation (,) in between, so instead of “Hey Emma.” it would be “Hey Emma,” Hope this helps a bit

  • @cloves3348
    @cloves3348 3 роки тому +1

    I've gone through all my life thinking there must be something wrong with my tongue because I couldn't pronounce that sound right to save my life! Which is terrible since voice acting is an interest of mine that I want to explore. I reckon that good pronounciation is important in that field lol
    So when I heard the sound come from my own mouth, I felt like a kid who finally discovered the taste of chocolate after pining for it for so long. Ahhhhh, thank you for this video!!

      Breath is a noun and breathe is a verb.Breathe means taking a breath.While breath is the process of inhaling and exhaling.I guess you know urdu so I can explain it like breath is Saans and to breathe is saans lena.
      Sentences:
      Breath : Sit down , take a deep breath and then think.
      Breathe: The carbonmonoxide made it difficult to breathe.
      I hope it helps!

    I'm quite comfortable with both voiced and unvoiced "th" sounds, but I struggle a bit with the transitions from an S sound. For example "I was thinking". Naturally, I either go to "I was sinking" or "I was tinking". The transition from S to TH is tough. I'm an EU-PT native.

    • @vendedordemacanetas
      @vendedordemacanetas 2 місяці тому

      I'm also a lusophone (PT-BR) and struggled with that kind of sentence as well. What I did was try to pronounce it very slowly, then gradually increase the speed over time. It took me a while, but now I'm pretty comfortable with it.
