    I applied as an assisstant language teacher in japan, and they told me that I had a problem with articulating /t/ and /th/ sounds. So they told me to practice first, but I know that the reason behind this issue is because of my braces. I never really thought that this was a problem for me until they brought this up.

    Tom says: "We want the th sound - ð". And then he says "In the back" or "in the" with very short, but still easy to hear "d' sound. Ring the curtain down. This brings so much confusion. Actually you CAN pronounce "th" like very short /d/ by just tapping your tongue on the upper teeth when you speak fast. Even British Native speakers sometimes have problems with pronouncing ð all the time and they do this trick.

    How to pronounce THREE? It’s hard for me to pronounce it when TH&R get together.

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      This is a tough combination of sounds! It may help you to think about there being a silent schwa sound before the R. As the tongue quickly pulls back from the TH sound into the R, there may be a super fast schwa sound that happens because of the movement and time it takes to get the tongue into position. Try thinking of it in that way (and practice it in slow motion to get the movement from the TH to the R sound down) and you may find that it becomes a little easier!

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This takes some tongue flexibility! You need to slide the tip of your tongue from the Z position to the TH consoant position, with the tip of your tongue between your teeth. Practice in slow motion going from a Z to a voiced TH consonant without a stop in sound, then start speeding it up. Over time, it will get easier.

    I have a student who struggles with this sound which I am used to, but he substitutes and L sound instead of t or d... I CANNOT find a way to get him to change it. Sometimes he gets the sound but then squeezes the l sound right after (thlat instead of that)... Any tips?

    • @rachelsenglish
      @rachelsenglish  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! You may have already tried this, but it can be useful to really slow down and have them say the word in slow motion - incredibly slowly. It sounds like he may need to adjust his tongue position in general and try thinking of the tongue as being lower (especially the middle and back part of the tongue) than he may be useful. Slowing way down is always the first thing I try when a student of mine is encountering an issue like this - good luck! :)

    I have difficulties pronouncing th after a consonant in a sentence. For example: Just the two of us (like in Will Smith song). I'm guessing that the t of just will be assimilated by the th is that correct? In that case it would be "Jus the two of us" or is it more like you fuse both words and pronounce them together? LIke "Justhe two of us" which one is correct? Or are both false?
