    Every time I watch a video about English pronunciation I find out I have been wrong this whole time. Thanks to the web I am learning the language properly.

    the "th" tongue trick is great!
    Ive been trying everything to show my spanish speaking students to get the "tha" sound out of them.
    thank you, Ms. Ronnie.

    I am Brazilian, and I am very grateful for your time to teach English. Since I do not speak or write English correctly, I'm using google translate to thank you.

    @SickOfJoo The back of your tongue is arched in your slightly opened mouth, and the tip is behind your teeth.You blow air over your tongue.

    @Kreloar she said mouths, when people say mouths the "th" is more like the "th" sound when you say the. not like the "th" in thin or thicks

  • @Pining_for_the_fjords
    @Pining_for_the_fjords 11 лет назад

    S has a voiced partner; z. Th also has a voiced partner, also written as th, as in words like 'this', 'that' and 'weather'. It didn't even occur to me that the voiced and unvoiced th were two different sounds until I began studying other languages.

  • @Le.K
    @Le.K 12 лет назад

    Well I repeat over, and over again words with the "TH". But first you need to make it sound right. This video is really great to learn how to do it. What I did, is repeat Thin ; Think ; Thing ; Thick right after her in the video. Once I got the right sound, I worked by myself.
    For example, every time I'm watching a movie or Tv show (in English) I repeat every Th words (which happen a lot xD).

    @alexsanchez0700 8 лет назад +1

    Spanish was my first language and learning English was super easy cause people say it's difficult cause of all the same sounding words like, there, their, and they're but it was easy for me. Only problem is I couldn't pronounce TH. My teachers thought I said dare instead if there. Or dink instead of think. And as a young child in elementary school that made me self conscious and I stopped talking for a year. My mom told me to look it up on RUclips and I found this video 6 years ago. I just want to thank you cause now I can pronounce it flawlessly and I owe it all to you. I'm a junior now and when I found this I was in 6th grade and my cousin said you had to read out loud a lot and since I loved reading I also knew that books have A LOT of TH words so over the summer I kept practicing and re watching this video and by late August I had mastered it. Thank you again so much. Now I actually love to read out loud and I actually volunteer to read first

  • @engvidRonnie
    @engvidRonnie  12 лет назад +6

    It has nothing to do with your teeth.When you want to say "s", put your tongue behind/slightly pressing on your bottom teeth.
    "SH" you should bite your back teeth and put your tongue tip at the top of your mouth!

  • @NoHealerJustPain
    @NoHealerJustPain 12 лет назад

    Thanks for replying.
    So I am Russian...
    P.S. I have some questions on the term of Canadian language, but so I have asked them in comments to other your video-lessons I think it is no use to repost (copy-paste) them much more.
    P.P.S. Your lessons are very addictive. You are the very person on your own place, in one word, you have capabilities for this. So I am very glad that I haply (per chance) have encountered your lessons on the "big, grand, wide" web )))

  • @Countryen
    @Countryen 9 лет назад +2

    Thank you.
    Is there any trick for people with a really small/short tongue?
    Also, is it good when the S sounds schrill and crisp on words or is that bad because it gives to much power to the S?
    -> Sounds like a whistling or a can of hot water...

    @jacobschmidt 8 лет назад +15

    I'm north Texan and I pronounce the "th" vocalized or unvocalized as follows-
    In "then" the "th" is vocalized
    In "thin" the "th" is unvocalized
    In "thing" the "th" is unvocalized
    In "the" the "th" is vocalized
    I the rule here is the "th" if followed by an "e" it's vocalized, if it's followed by an "i" it's not
    "The-"vocalized
    "Thi-"unvocalized

    I had an accident 5 years ago where I knocked two of my top front teeth. Since then, my speech has never been the same. The orthodontists said the shape of the teeth are fine and that I should speak to a speech therapist. I have noticed a slight gap in the upper section in between the two teeth. Could this have given me a lisp? Or may it have been that while I was wearing a denture for the better half of a year, my body adapted to a different shape and size? Please help

  • @engvidRonnie
    @engvidRonnie  12 лет назад

    The reason why you make a "F" sound is because you are not sticking your tongue out.....When you say the TH sound, you MUST stick out your tongue! When you say F, your top teeth cover your bottom lip. TH is all in the tongue!

    I notice sometimes some british speakers make a ''F'' or ''D'' (and sometimes even a ''V'') sound instead of saying the ''right Th'' sound. Is that bad habit, accent or none of these? For example, I often see ''Anything'' pronounced as ''Anyfing'' and ''Brother'' as ''Brover''.

    • @lolasdasdasdasdasdas
      @lolasdasdasdasdasdas 10 лет назад

      There are two versions of th, a vibrated th like in that or this and an unvibrated th like in thing or through. You can pronounce the former by blowing air out of you mouth while your tongue nearly touches your front theeth and make a little vibration with your vocal chords. The unvibrated th is achieved in the same way, but without vibration. The same goes for z (p) and s (up). Also you blow less air out of your mouth when speaking the pronounced th, but it depends also on the word you are trying to speak. /watch?v=CMmy1rssjj4

  • @cyes5031700
    @cyes5031700 12 лет назад

    I entered a bilingual school in my childhood. But when I listen to the "s", it just sounds like "th". Is there really a difference between the s and th? Will native speakers notice the difference when you speak? I always say 'thnake(snake)','thun(sun)','theem(seem)' and my teachers don't correct me.
