to 不定詞

You may have learned that this is what  you need to do for the TH sound.

Here I’m saying the phrase ‘bad weather’ and I’ve frozen my mouth on TH.

頻度を表す副詞

This is the position of the TH sometimes,

but there are a lot of very common words where native speakers do a little bit of a shortcut for the TH.

In this video you’re going to learn that shortcut, the right way to make a TH.

but at the same time we’re studying stress, the foundation of American English.

First, let’s talk about the full TH position.

This is the one you’ve been taught as a student, but my students still really struggle with this sound.

One, they stick too much of their tongue out.

Look, it’s not that much, it’s just the very tip.

Two, they block the air with their tongue.

That turns this into a stop consonant, it’s not a stop consonant.

You should be able to hold it continuously with no stopped air, no pressure.

See how the teeth are just very lightly  touching the tongue.

You don’t want to press the teeth into the tongue.

So these are the mistakes my students make when trying to make a TH sound.

The other biggest problem is they simply don’t make it.

then with the voiced TH they make a D sound:

In most cases, it won’t mess up people  understanding you.

But if a lot of your sounds are inaccurate

it can start to be hard to understand someone.

So it is worth taking the time to learn these new sounds that you don’t have in your native language.

Let’s look at three words with a TH at the beginning, middle, and end.

This TH is unvoiced, that means it’s made with just the air, no vibration of the vocal cords.

Watch this. You’ll see it in slow motion. You’ll see it twice, then a third time with no sound.

You say it, slowly, just like you’ve seen.

Now a word with a TH in the middle, 'although'.

Although, the tongue position is the same.

Let’s take a look at this word.  You’ll see it twice, hear it twice, study it.

Then you’ll see it one more time with no sound, you say it out loud that time.

You’ll see and hear it two times, the third time you say it, slowly, both.

Sometimes the tongue tip doesn’t come  all the way through the teeth.

We’re going to study a phrase, It’s better than I thought.

One in the word ‘than’, and the one in  the word ‘thought’.

When I do that phrase, which words are  the most stressed?

‘Better’ and ‘thought’ are stressed.

That means the word ‘than’ is unstressed.

Than is unstressed and it begins with a voiced TH.

In this case we can do the tongue shortcut.   Let’s see.

It’s different than what we’ve been seeing.

The very tip is touching the backs of the teeth.

It doesn’t sound like a D because we’re not putting pressure against the roof of the mouth.

This TH is unvoiced, and the tongue tip always has to come through for an unvoiced TH.

TH in than, tongue tip not coming through.

TH in thought, tongue tip coming through.

There are a lot of really common words  that will usually be unstressed,

'Than' is one of them. It's pronounced: than, than.

Notice in the phrase the vowel is  reduced:  it’s not THAN.
