@MrHarryStottle It's probably because of his English accent. Maybe American English will be better for you to learn. (I suggest to learn both pronunciations so you can learn how to understand different English accents. Same with others like Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Scottish....etc.)

@forramelagalleta Thank you for your defense! The microphone may not have picked up the soft -th sound at the end of each ordinal -teen, but it's definitely there! There are approximately two billion videos explaining the pronunciation of 'th' on YouTube, and I was more interested in teaching dates than a detailed pronunciation lesson. Glad it helped you and thanks for the comment!

@MrHarryStottle:I want to point out that the pronunciation is British, and that the benefit of the lessons far exceeded the phonetic glitches you may find, specially for non natives who need or needed to learn the best they could, so let's just appreciate the man's effort, and be glad you are not found wanting regarding your English skills as i was.
PS, I learned trough listening AM radio, online dictionary's and test's, etc..the point here,?? EVERYTHING helps!. just add some good will.
peace.

Actually you have me at a disadvantage because I hadn't intended to enter into a dialogue, especially on the internet. Had I realized that such a task would have been so difficult I would have made mine own. Would it be that such time were available but. alas it is not and no one would pay me, to boot. So, like you, I withdraw, to search no more, save to say "listen again to your video"

You have a little mistake in the ordinal numbers. you forget the "9th", it's:
8th- eighth
9th- ninth
Thanks for the video :)

@lydgc Yep, I know, I would say 'just testing', but that would be to reiterate a very old cliche. So well spotted and I'll try my best to avoid such errors in the future.
