Rachel's English Hello from Afghanistan! Rachel thanks again for another amazing video! Mostly it is hard when there are many th’s as you said: “through the teeth!” Hope u make more videos illustrating how to master that! And please do some videos on how to discern an accent! Meaning when I choose a video to learn sometimes I end up with an accent which is not standard American and the words used in it won’t be of any use in American English! Like Australian... it is hard to know whether the words, sentences and even phrases that is used American or not! Thanks
Don't know why this is in my recommend, being a native English speaker, but this is fascinating to watch. I never thought about the nuances with the "TH" sound, or really the placement of the tongue with the teeth.
Awesome Rachel, waited years for your tips on teaching TH to my students. The tip regarding touching the upper teeth and not teaching between the teeth is pure gold. Thanks!
After many years of struggling with this sound finally I can say I over come it . And that's thinks to you Rachel. My advice to everyone is try to make it without thinking because when you force it , it comes out heavy on your and wrong.
All the tips are significant about the TH sound this video is very helpful for every American English learner and the online excerpt is so awesome I liked it a lot, besides the tip, no 4 change how you think of it do not think of it the tongue tip come through the teeth very top the tongue pressing up on the bottom of the top front teeth TH light press up bottom of the front teeth allow free flow air thanks
I figured out the same as my daughter, she's 5 years old now and we're from the Philippines. When I asked her to say the word " anything " " think " she says " anyfing " " fink ". I love to learn from your videos. Rachel's English
Cute baby thanks for putting him in the video..no matter how hard your day is when you see a small kid smile you smile unknowingly even if you don't want to
Thanks for your video, it's very helpful. The following are my learning notes. Tip 1: TH is not a stop consonant, no stop, no pressure. Tip 2: It’s just the very tip of the tongue that comes through the teeth. Tip 3: Think of it as the very top of the tongue pressing up on the bottom of the top front teeth. Tip 4: There is a voiced and an unvoiced version of this sound. Tip 5: there is a shortcut you can do for the voiced TH when it begins an unstressed word. Tip 5: there is a shortcut you can do for the voiced TH when it begins an unstressed word. For these cases, you don’t actually need to bring the tongue tip through the teeth. you can press it behind the teeth. TH, tongue lightly touching the bottom of the top front teeth, think.
I m Elizete from Brazil. After I started to study with your videos, my mind has been clearer. This video was great. I m grateful for you help us through the Internet. I hope one day I can study with you teacher Rachael.
Rachel ，for me , a big fan of American English.you always put the highlights in a very comprehensive way to help us know the big picture of American English . Thank you so much!
Thanks, Rachel! My life`s very busy to watch your videos, but they`re vey useful! The secret to me to master the th was listening and practicing a lot. I watch a tv series for three hours a day and I try to pronounce it as smooth as I can because that`s like you guys do.
Thank you so much Rachel for your help, me as an arabic speaker we usually have this problem with some sounds. However, after I start following your advices and methods I observed enhancement on my pronunciation because I started watching my mouth. Again thank you and please keep going on sharing your useful lessons
I'm enjoying my learning through this channel. One of the most common mistakes or perhaps, innocent errors we make is the pronunciation of that dreaded 'TH.' I've always been using the 'Thank' and 'The' tips, to help me consciously replay them in my mind before I utter any word that bears the 'TH' sound. Thank you very much for this and other lessons on your channel. From a small town in Malaysia.
This helped me a lot because I'm really having a hard time pronouncing the both sounds of th, like saying "the thing is....", I still can't pronounce it very accurate but I'm working on it!! Thank you!!
Hello Rachel! I watched your vocabulary videos that you made with car, clothes, weather, kitchen, etc. And I would like see more of it with commons places as construction, workshop, church, doctor & health, party, trip, etc. I think is so easer to learn this way. Thank you!
@@rachelsenglish Good Morning! Thank you for answering me. I'm new subscribed to your channel and I'm watching your videos from Brasil. Now I don't want to lose anything of your channel. See you!
thanks for your lesson. It's super useful. I liked the common mistake between the D and d sounds. It shows me that I need to be aware of my tongue position to have a really distinct sound. Also, it's really helpful when you used the video teaching the student in order to explain your point because it seems like resonating with me. The last reason I liked this video is because it's so adorable when you taught your son how to pronounce the TH
I wonder if it's fair to say that you have to use your tongue a lot (and in a right way) during a class with Rachel :) Your lesson is as helpful as always Rachel. Thanks for the work.
Hi Rachel. I've been studying some of your replay academy lessons, which are great. I've noticed that you don't use your webcam in front of your mouth, like you do in this video, in replays from this year.
I learned Spanish and German and some others (especially when I was studying opera), but I don't speak any other languages on a regular basis! I do not speak Portuguese. But I do love learning languages - and hearing them!
Hi Rachel as always It is a pleasure to watch your videos and you're explain very well your lessons thanks a lot my dear teacher and have a great day you and your family 😉
Hey Rachel, the most difficult sound to me is ah, aw, uh and aa. I've been studying again and again all these sounds for so long. I think I can make the uh and aa sounds but aw and ah still stay confusing when I say words such as law, long, dog ect. sometimes it comes out like the british au and some times like ah. I've got your e-book but I think I still need a whole video comparing all these sounds more extensively in one unit. These sounds are the last ones I can't master. If there will be and other requests about these sounds, please be kind to create a new extended video. Greetings from Greece
Hi! I think for that word you will probably want to use a little bit of the tongue actually coming through the teeth. This is more often used for quick function words like "the, this, there" etc.
This is, hands down, my favorite TH-themed video you've made so far!! Awesome stuff. I'd just like to say that 0:48 is true for the General American accent, but I've learned over the years of living in America that there are native dialects where /ð/ and /θ/ do become dental stops (the tongue still touches the teeth, but there's no flow of air). Some speakers also switch from fricatives to stops in fast speech, while others don't. Just an observation.
@@Wayspears I know, Rachel mentioned the articulation differs for unstressed words (the, this, that), However, there are dialects where even words like "think" or "Martha" would be affected and that's what I was referring to.
Hi! The difference between these two words is in the vowel sound. In 'win', you want to use the IH as in SIT vowel [wɪn]. In 'won', you want to use the UH as in BUTTER vowel [wʌn].
Hi - thanks for the suggestions! I do have videos on a lot of those sounds already - if you want to check them out: S and Z - ruclips.net/video/xl-7mSeybmI/видео.html J - ruclips.net/video/unfuGPc3iXo/видео.html DR cluster - ruclips.net/video/jK7o49tFylM/видео.html
Hi Richel，I have one question about word linking. In this sentence“He proposed to you”，am I supposed to pronouce like “proposteyou” or “ proposdeyou” or “propozteyou”？ From what I heard，it is kind of like“propozteyou”. please give me the correct answer，thank you.
Hi! This is a great question! You are right that most native speakers will not pronounce the D sound of 'proposed' in this situation, especially if they are speaking quickly and casually. In IPA, the most common pronunciation of this phrase would look like this: [hi‿pɹəˈpoʊz‿tə‿ju]. The Z consonant will be more like a weak Z sound, and may even have a bit of an S sound because it is at the end of a word, and we tend to take some of the energy out of our voice at the end of words and phrases.
Do unvoiced TH also have shortcut for tongue? And does the shortcut for voiced TH more on sounding like a D or still voiced TH? If ever there is a shortcut in unvoiced TH, is it sounds more like a D or unvoiced TH?

Thanks Anderson!
Hi rachel,
would you please tell me when the(th)pronounced as in "THINK "& when it pronounced as in "THAT"?are there any rules for that?
THANK YOU .
I'm not aware of any rules for this, unfortunately! But just so you know, native speakers need to look up English words all the time to make sure they are pronouncing them correctly - you are not alone in that! :)
In Arabic we have two separate letters for the th sound
ث ( ثاء ) = unvoiced th
ذ ( ذال ) = voiced th
In Egypt we don't use both of them :), so that is why it is so hard for Egyptians :D specially me
unvoiced is one word
On time, thank you.❤❤
You're welcome!
How you doin? brilliant teacher thanks a lot Rachel
I'm great Kaya, thanks!
