thumbs up and thank you for something like this. Nothing else is more useful than this. The method that you taught is very thoughtful for the people on earth who need to speak more smooth without pauses. Although this is tough but i'll try to think and breath before i speak. Another time I'll watch other clips of yours and learn from them thoughtfully. thank you again.
@mdkoofia is right although his level is much higher than mine since English is his first language.
Please, @EnglishMeeting, explain this. I and many others don't have problems to say "thank you" when it's alone, but the situation changes when it's in a sentence. Thus every word's pronunciation depends on the previous and next ones. I'd like to understand this dependence, because sometimes my speech is "decorated" with a little of lisping.
And why sometimes people "save" their voiced th's?
@aRichBastard Speaking has to do with collocations or groups of words (phrases). We may practice one word for pronunciation, but in real life, we speak in phrases. What comes before and after effects pronunciation because of factors such as linking, rhythm, and the general "music" of the language. The more advanced learner can practice pronunciation in phrases and in real life by monitoring their own use. I do hope this helps : ) Dave
Please teach us when they are pronounced in sentences connected with other words and i can see that native speaker mix the sound with another words or even omit the sound. Fortunately, we do have those sounds in our languages. Actually what we need when native speaker in free flowing conversation what they shorten, not what they pronounce clearly. We are familiar with IPA sounds and symbols very well. Please target also those people who don't start from the scratch unlike some Chinese.
I'm a filipino. I don't have any trouble pronouncing the voiced and voiceless th. my question is, is it possible to pronounce the th sound followed by s? For example, "earth's crust"? Is it possible to pronounce th in there smoothly? Cause when i pronounce it, no matter how hard i try, i always end up omitting the h sound in th.
@elizendria This is a bit tricky because of the mouth & tongue positions. Try pronouncing it in "slow motion" -
hit the TH and release the S, then slowly go into the word "crust." This can be a good exercise for developing new movement and muscle. It will take some time but if you practice this every day, you will get faster at it and be able to do it without thinking.
It is very difficult to pronounce some of the sounds in English when you are not a native speaker because it doesn't exist in your own language. This helps a lot.
sorry' i need to say those ways pronunciation only on papers and dictionaries and books and only separately. how about in the sentences and common native ways(lion part of people). we do have those two sounds unlike Chinese. Actually pronouncing following IPA sounds are not the problems. problems are following most common native speakers---- and the only biggest problem ever. thanks for your kind effort and hopefully you have understood our problems. The street pronunciation by the commoners.
Really love the tutorial. I live in England, was born in South Korea and they never taught me this. I wonder if this is because they either forgot or just pronounce differently, but anyway. The unvoiced one was really really easy, but I'm having problems with the voiced ones. Whenever I shove my tongue out with the word smooth or any other "oo" sounds, the "oo" sound changes mid-way. It makes me sound retarded.
Hi Dave, great video, thanks! Could you please provide more examples or give some advice for the pronunciation of the "TH" sound followed by a "R"? I have troubles with "THR". You already gave the example of "through" in the video, but could you pronunce "three" or "thriller" for instance? Thanks.
Shit, I just realised that I'm saying ''Bat and mat' instead of ''Bath, math'' for years! I got an English friend, but she never wants to correct me : / Even though I make a LOT of mistakes when I speak, the proper pronunciation of TH is definitely the hardest for me.
@ComptGeorges hey bro i grew up here in the U.S., but i have an accent cause my parents are foreign. The very sad part is, I barely can speak my language of my parents.....i think in my head with no accent, but when i talk, i have a "minor-mediam" accent. I speak in American Dialect, i dont have to think about what i say, its just i pronounce it a little different cuz my parents had accents. I may be stuck with my accent 4ever, but i wanna at least improve it so my children wont go thru accents!
Jesus Holy Mother of God!! I have been speaking English for 13 years now and its only now that I am realizing I didn't pronounce th properly. Thats what a shitty education system does for you!
"Is there any rules for how to know when to use the voiceless and when to use the voice one? chetes15 1 month ago "
The answer is no. There is no way you can look at "this" and know that it is meant to use the voiced "th", and "thistle" is meant to use the unvoiced "th". You just have to learn the pronunciation separately. English pronunciation is fundamentally irregular.
I have a doubt ... I've been pronouncing th sound at the end of a word (as in mouth or month) like an "f" sound, because it's really hard for me to do that sound. My question is.. Will people understand me If I do it on this way?
Thanks for this video. I have had a devil of a time getting the message across to my ESL students about the correct way to pronounce the TH sound. I think this video will fit in very nicely in my classes and make my job a bit easier.
@chetes15 The rules are complicated - if you look to my responses on this comment list you will find them - it is more practical to learn the words individually.
I'm Turkish and I have serious problems with pronouncing "th" but whenever I try this, I feel stupid. There's no such sound in my language so that's something I have never experienced, but i guess I will make it by keeping on practising it.
Hi,I'm from Brazil.I'd like that add a subtitle in English on next video,to improve the understanding of explanation,and to facilitate at who's beginners like me.
I hope that appraise my suggestion.Thank in advance!
This "TH" explanation is excellent, and a big help to my students. Thank you! Do you have videos dealing with the "R" and "L"? In Japan this is a difficult difference to explain.
Hi Steve love your lessons, I am struggling with ʒ sound at the moment, would you help me please please please, I would be very grateful, is it same like z ? please help
But I'm wondering, if there is a word that ends with t and the following word starts with the th-sound, how should I pronounce it? For example: "I want this." Can we hear the th-sound or normal t-sound when we are saying words together? 'Cause there is only one sound as far as I know, isn't there?
@hoilaahahaa In your example, "I want this" the "t" in "want" is imploded, meaning it doesn't release. The tip of the tongue stops at the front of the aveolar ridge, holds, then moves forward to just beyond the front teeth, in order to make the voiced TH sound, for the word "this."
hes entertaining at same time teaching.. awesome!! can you make video on sound "F" i cant pronounce some words like "First" and even sound "K" thanks.
this is cool. I don't know why maybe its not meant to be though :(. I keep trying to pronunciation the voiceless th and can't get it... Instead of saying Math, I am saying MA(F)... haha my friend always makes fun of me
well thank you i fell like spitting but i know how it works now!
i had misundertood this lady at the cashier she said "its three" prononcing "free" i was so confuse thinking i can walk out with this, then she repeated "its Free pound" that when i knew she meant the money.

I liked your video very very much.It explains much or may be all the abstract concepts that are necessary to pronounce the sound.I hope others are also getting the same benefit.
oh, very good explanation! really very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
, but i don't understand one thing.
sometimes when i'm listening to some people talking, i can hear thanks like ''tanks'', and that like ''det''. but i learned to say like your demonstration...thanks alot. it was the best explanation that i've ever heard .
@ankaschannel Try practicing the TH sound followed by a quick /r/ sound. Practice getting the mouth position, & exaggerate the movements. This will build strength in specific muscles needed to make the sound smoothly. Master this, then practice with words and phrases. Hope this helps.
I just cannot get it right, when I talk fast, like I always do, I misform the 'th' into a 'd'. Which makes my dutch accent disturbingly noticable.. so annoying! especially when my english friends imitate my accent. frustrating ;p
@DutchGirl027 Practice the TH sound at least 3 times a day. Make notes and place them all around that remind you to make the TH sound instead of /d/. When you talk to people focus on this sound in the back of your mind. It will eventually become second nature. Believe in yourself and you will make it happen :)
excuse me, while watching american movies, i heard this sound "th" said in many different ways, lot of people say it like T almost like a d (without = whidout) and others pronounce it "voiceless" as in this video. so im wondering, if those people are all american why they pronounce it in different ways? is just an accent thing? in this video its said that to pronounce TH like T or D is very wrong, but there are people who do this, so, is it ok? or its not correct at all?? im kinda confused! :)
@DutchGirl027 You are right. When friends imitate the accent is really frustrating! But you'll see that in the future, it won't happen again. When you practice, then you learn it.
@lucasfreires100 Voiceless th -content words (thank, thrill,thing)-compound words (nothing & anything), foreign words -lethal & authorize- th at the end of a word & the vowel before is short or no vowel before it (path, filth).Voiced th in function words (those, this, that) & family relation words (father, brother)Between vowels in native words(bother & bathing)-If th is at the end of a word & the vowel before it is long(bathe, breathe)-If th is before a syllabic /m/(algorithm, rhythm)
@nanyman101 And I am a Pole, and watching it is to learn to speak correctly in English, for us, Poles, English is really easy to learn, thanks to this film I learned to pronounce a lot of different words.
@yanirawr It should not be highlighted. At that point in the video he did not yet introduce the voiced /th/ sound which is used in 'this'. The exercise at 4:25 is for voiceless /th/ sounds, and all of the voiceless /th/ are correctly highlighted.
I got two things with your videos - fun and learning - you are doing much more than I would expect learning that to hard sound - TH is very hard...sounds like a letter called tzadic but this one (tzadic) I think is easier than TH, so...I'll watch this video for long time in my life. Sure will. Thank you (still saying Tank you - but I'm keeping trying that)
thank you sooo much!!

for some reason I am used to pronouncing the TH with a F and it sounds like I am saying Mass instead of Math

I find it hard to pronounce words that start with'thr' such as 'through' or 'throw'. Any tipps?

@ankaschannel Try practicing the TH sound followed by a quick /r/ sound. Practice getting the mouth position, & exaggerate the movements. This will build strength in specific muscles needed to make the sound smoothly. Master this, then practice with words and phrases. Hope this helps.

I just cannot get it right, when I talk fast, like I always do, I misform the 'th' into a 'd'. Which makes my dutch accent disturbingly noticable.. so annoying! especially when my english friends imitate my accent. frustrating ;p
DutchGirl027 1 year ago
@DutchGirl027 Practice the TH sound at least 3 times a day. Make notes and place them all around that remind you to make the TH sound instead of /d/. When you talk to people focus on this sound in the back of your mind. It will eventually become second nature. Believe in yourself and you will make it happen :)

excuse me, while watching american movies, i heard this sound "th" said in many different ways, lot of people say it like T almost like a d (without = whidout) and others pronounce it "voiceless" as in this video. so im wondering, if those people are all american why they pronounce it in different ways? is just an accent thing? in this video its said that to pronounce TH like T or D is very wrong, but there are people who do this, so, is it ok? or its not correct at all?? im kinda confused! :)

@DutchGirl027 You are right. When friends imitate the accent is really frustrating! But you'll see that in the future, it won't happen again. When you practice, then you learn it.

Your videos are very helpfull =)
But i have a question: how to tell when to use voiced or voiceless "th" sound?
TY
lucasfreires100 1 year ago
@lucasfreires100 Voiceless th -content words (thank, thrill,thing)-compound words (nothing & anything), foreign words -lethal & authorize- th at the end of a word & the vowel before is short or no vowel before it (path, filth).Voiced th in function words (those, this, that) & family relation words (father, brother)Between vowels in native words(bother & bathing)-If th is at the end of a word & the vowel before it is long(bathe, breathe)-If th is before a syllabic /m/(algorithm, rhythm)

@nanyman101 And I am a Pole, and watching it is to learn to speak correctly in English, for us, Poles, English is really easy to learn, thanks to this film I learned to pronounce a lot of different words.

at 4:25 you forgot to highlight the 'Th' for the word 'this' :) hehe.
Thanks for helping me improve my english
yanirawr 1 year ago
@yanirawr It should not be highlighted. At that point in the video he did not yet introduce the voiced /th/ sound which is used in 'this'. The exercise at 4:25 is for voiceless /th/ sounds, and all of the voiceless /th/ are correctly highlighted.

I got two things with your videos - fun and learning - you are doing much more than I would expect learning that to hard sound - TH is very hard...sounds like a letter called tzadic but this one (tzadic) I think is easier than TH, so...I'll watch this video for long time in my life. Sure will. Thank you (still saying Tank you - but I'm keeping trying that)
