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!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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
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.
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!
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 😉
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.
Wow.... Your son is adorable for sounding "th". I think Stoney's pronunciation of "TH" sounds like Cockney accent for "TH" to "F". Yes, For The Information, "TH" cluster in Cockney accent is changed into "F". For example : "think" become "fink", "three" become "free", etc. It's not occurred in UK. Australian accents (I mean Broad accent) and some American accents (Maybe somewhere) have type of this. But, because he's still young, he absolutely needs practicing more and more. That's my explanation........
Waw...more beautiful little boy... Allah bless him... even your fruit# I meant your child#is the best... I've enjoyed your gorgeous video .. I always say that" you are always the best " I've used the word"fruit" according the bible .... however I'm a Muslim.... but we love our siblings Christians........ Ahmad k.Salim from Iraq
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

Change the way you think of th that you suggested is very helpful. That is to say, touching the front teeth with the top of the lips.
I really needed to hear that "d" is different from voiced "th" (in opposite of some teachers saying). Thank you
Thanks, Rachel!! I love your classes!

How you doin? brilliant teacher thanks a lot Rachel
I'm great Kaya, thanks!
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
