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
That course also is for Spanish speakers
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.
It was so cute listening to the kid say my name. Almost every kid that I know call me Marfa and I find it interesting. 😄😄
Your baby is so sweet, so amazing. And I totally forgot about everything what you said😂😂😂. I'm joking. This lesson is awesome. Thanks a lot.
You're welcome!
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!
Thanks Gordon!
Your teaching style is very good.👍thank you
You're welcome!
so cute your baby teacher may God bless him 😊
Thanks a lot Roibel!
The best video 😮 thank you 😊😊😊
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 a lot! :)
any video is helpful
great teacher
i have made great progress in American accent just in one week through following your videos
Thanks Bassam!
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.
Thank's for this video; working on my pronunciation is one of the most hardest thing that I'm doing to sound better!
My pleasure Jose!
Please make alot of videos about pronunciation♥all love
Thanks teacher!💐💐💐💐💐!
You're welcome Sunder!
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 very much Rodrigo!

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
Many thanks for these tips. Too much helpful for me to practice. Very appreciated.
My pleasure Trung!

I've been following Rachel for years, but this video is suuper helpful thank you so much, in sure this little change will improve my English Speaking
Great! Thanks for watching Adriana!
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 for sharing WanZhu!
Good teacher. Thank you

Awesome!
Tip no 3 really helps. Thank you.
You're welcome Jason!
Always the best!!!

Thanks for your good advice ma'am
My pleasure Oni!
You're awesome. It'd been difficult for me to pronounce "the ..."
Thank you very much!
I really needed to hear that "d" is different from voiced "th" (in opposite of some teachers saying). Thank you
Hi teacher
Thank you so much for your help
My pleasure Odair!
BEST SOUNDS!
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.
Hi there and thanks for sharing Vertex!
great tips!
Thanks Dragomir!
I'm a big fan of you and your accent
Thanks Arif!
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.
Thank you teacher 😊
You're welcome Ashok!
You are the best, I loved it! 😍🇧🇷
Thanks Anderson!
Great one!
Thanks!
OMG!! I love the new teacher "Stoney" :)
Thanks Gloria!
Rachel .. I love your videos , greetings from Oaxaca, Mexico.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome Lynn!
@@rachelsenglish 💗💗💗
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!!
Because we are arabic we don't face any problem with these two sounds.
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!
Good suggestion, thanks!
@@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!
Awesome!! Nice baby!!! Thanks
Thanks again!
Omg, that student of yours is sooooo concentrated!
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
Thanks a lot for sharing Tran! Very much appreciated :)
Awesome
On time, thank you.❤❤
You're welcome!
Oh wow, I've been doing it right all along never thinking much about it nor trying to make it right xD
You are really good at teaching English ❤️

Thank you very much Ahmad!
Your son is so precious. * - *
Thanks Daniela!
It's so difficult for me, thanks so much teacher
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.
You're welcome Thai!
That's great

thanks ...
You're welcome @dileepa1901!
I love your videos....
*Thanks a lot*
And your son is soooooooooooooo sweet and cute *his eyes 👀 are amazing* 😍😍
Aww...thank you!
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.
at 5:16 she talked about that... 🙄
@@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.
Thanks for sharing!
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.
Thanks for the suggestion, thanks!
