    I always pronounce "s" as the "th" sound when word ends. Will it cause a serious problem?

    • @tarlespeech
      @tarlespeech  5 лет назад

      It might. But maybe not. Typically, if you are consistent and always do the same thing familiar people will understand you.

    Professora eu tenho um pouco de dúvida com o som do TH quando estiver juntos , quando tiver dois sons do TH juntos eu tenho que pronunciar os dois sons do TH ou posso pronunciar apenas um?
    (EX: with the )
    Os dois juntinhos a pronúncia ficaria a do dois TH assim: θ ð
    Ou ficaria apenas um som?

    @pmuc0403 Great suggestion! I'll add it to my list. The reason this is difficult is because the CH is a combination of the T+SH. The J (GE) is a combination of D and ZH. To say this, start with your tongue behind your top teeth, pull it to the middle of your mouth while you round your lips, then touch your teeth again for the T. CH+T=T+SH+T and J+T=D+ZH+T

    I'm a native spreaker of English (but was raised in a mostlcy non-English-spreaking environment), and igh _always_ have trouble pronouncing /s̠θ/ since it breaks the flow so mutch and igh tend to spreak fast, so igh convert the sound cluster to /θ̠/.
    Igh spreak English with a onelcy a few people close to me where igh live (and onelcy 3 of hem are native anglophones), but would most native anglophones understand if igh pronounce words in solike a way?

  • @richardlee8563
    @richardlee8563 Год назад +1

    but in actual speeches, I think people won't say words one by one, they will link words to save time and breath. so the "s" sound and "th" sound are linked to pronounce. but how? can Tarle show us how to ? please

    • @tarlespeech
      @tarlespeech  Год назад +1

      You are correct. Let me think on this. Maybe I can do a lesson on linking.

    @nilath84 About your second question: distinguishing sounds in any language is learned though listening. Babies can hear all sounds bites lose this ability as we get older. If the older people can distinguish these sounds, it is most likely since they ere exposed to them early in life.

    • @Claude-Eckel
      @Claude-Eckel 6 лет назад +5

      Keep the air FLOWING! Don't interrupt it. No tongue is too slow to do THIS. Like in _'this'_ , just kinda reversed. However, you've a split second more time in _'this'_ to reposition your tongue, but I'm speaking of the sustained airflow she mentioned in the video. It's the same. You do NOT interrupt the airflow during the process in _'this'_ . And as for the reverse sound (s-th):
      Your tongue is almost in th-position, or you couldn't produce the _'s'_ sound in the first place, that is, slightly behind your teeth. Now just also don't break the airflow and push your tounge immediately this tiny li'l bit more forward for the _'th'_ - sound.
      When your tongue touches your teeth - or slightly behind them - for the _'s'_ ... what's so hard about pushing it further forward to eventually produce a _'th'_ as well, just a fraction of a second later? Im sure in _'this'_ you've already managed to do it and your tongue wasn't too slow for it. The tongue just started in a forward position to produce a _'th'_ and you pulled it slightly back to finish with an _'s'_ ... *without* interrupting the airflow. That did the trick already in _'this'_
      Say _'this'_ and pay attention to what your tongue is in fact doing. Drop the _'i'_ and just say _th-s, th-s, th-s_ and feel how the air flows to get it done, and this is you, you, not interrupting the airflow. Now simply reverse the process and say it the other way round: _'s-th'_ . But keep the air flowing again or it won't work. It will sound like you want your tongue to stop producing an _'s'_ . Just exercise, your tongue is going to become familiar with the reversed move, too. No rocket science. Just practise.

    @dariomafijas When there is a TS combination, start by touching your teeth for the T then pull is back for the S. Most people find this easier than saying ST. If you have still have trouble then message me a video of you saying the TS combination. I'll get back to you with tips.
