I never liked the TH sound, to be honest, so all should pronounce the TH sounds like a normal D or a half D or a T or a half T / airy T etc, because TH is the one sound that keeps English pronunciation from sounding really pretty to the ear, and it makes one’s mouth look funny, and even the words can sound funny, in a way! Three should be pronounced close to tree, not like that sound that is more similar to free! Then and breathe and that etc sound way better when pronounced den / breade / dat etc than they do when pronounced the way most pronounce them, which can sound close to zat / ven sometimes! Plus, there is a way to get a sound that is similar to the TH sound without making the funny face / mouth, which sounds a tad less airy or a bit fuller!
I used to think that the TH sound came from Greek, but I recently found out that OId English also had it, unfortunately - but honestly, languages such as Modern English and Modern Welsh shouldn’t have kept the TH sound!
Same 😂 Like in this video she prononced loathed and i was like just fucking say *i hate you* lmao but then again thats why i still cant prononce the damn TH even after years
@@noonesaidthat7630 i was 3 when i started learning english and i got everything except this “th” and i always got roasted for it. i couldn’t tell the difference until 6th grade. and i just found out today loath isn’t pronounce loav
@@cobana4730 bruh same I've been saying it like tursday for Thursday and dem for them. People just never corrected me but instead made fun of me :/. I just started practicing the th sound this week. Edit: Dang it’s been a month and also I’m saying it right now :) it wasn’t even that hard lol.
@@Sai_Bruh I feel that the voiced 'th' doesn't vibrate too much when native speakers used it. So I almost think is a 'd'. Does your 'th' vibrate when you pronounce it? "Thus" vs "Does" for ex?
Finally a native english teacher who 1. Realized it is important to speak about and 2. Also gives a perfect and thoroughly explanation. Thank you very much Emma!
Hi Emma, You are a great teacher. My example of tongue twisters are: 'Nothing is worth thousands of deaths' or 'Elizabeth's birthday is on the third Thursday of this month'. Best wishes.
Nahhhh... you guys don't how difficult it is to pronounce them in the so called proper way. I think now I pronounce them correctly, ...but man, no one can tell at least I really get a foreign native friends or what.
@Mystic ØwØ ガチャ would you like to chat together to practise English am upper intermediate and iam taking IELTS.if you don't mind send me any of your social media accounts
I recently realized that I was pronouncing 'th' by touching my tongue to the alveolar ridge instead of bringing it slightly outside of my mouth. This video has helped a lot, thank you!
Very informative. 'Th' is the only sound I have trouble pronouncing, even though I've reached fluency more than 5 years ago. However I don't speak it that much because there's no one for me to speak to. But I have tried for so long to get the sound right, always trying the way my highschool teacher showed when it came to tongue position but I was actually just making the 't' sound because my tongue was up and behind my teeth. Now at least I know how to do it properly and even managed to get it right a few times so I'm extremely grateful to this short video.
@@vali69 That is good. I learned to speak the TH sound with Gavin Roy. I'm really confident with my pronounce, my problem is when there is a lot of th words. For exemplo, the sentence "that there's nothing there". There are the two kinds of th sound.
I was born in America but I have pronunciation problems, I use an app called “speech jammer” or “microphone live” (first one is fav because it doesn’t play it right away so you can say it and then hear it instead of right away, although it may cause a headache due to echos) on iPhone. Put on headphones that have a mic, and it allows you to hear self to see how you sound. This is because you sound different than you think. Idk if this will help you, but I’ve tried it today and it is helping me with my confidence
oh god...no i only got to "three thin-" before making a "d" or "t" sound :< I'm gonna start using this tongue twister more often to practice. Thanks for sharing. lol
Hello my teacher Emma. How have you been? 1-"He threw three free throws" 2-"A bother from another mother" 3-"Three thin thieves thought a thousand thoughts" Goodbye, Love and kiss for you from me.
According to your name you might be a Spanish speaker. If that's the case, the TH in think is pronounced the way the people from Spain pronounce the c in number "cien" (not in sien). On the other hand, the voiced sound, the TH in "other" is similar to Spanish D betheen vowels, for example in "cada".
Take your time Ricardo. Start slowly, record what you say and listen carefully to how a native speaker pronounces the words. Most importantly - have fun!
Hi Emma, Everything is so great about your videos and your presentation - very professional, and thorough. I would like to make a suggestion as a fellow teacher that might tie up the distinction between the two sounds and allow your students to target the difference between them. In your final practice period, in the text area of your screen, you could annotate which words are using the voiced or unvoiced "th" by placing that IPA character below the associated "th".
i have been struggling for many years to find the right pronunciation of this th but just with your few minutes of explanation ,I have overcame the burden on me. This word th is the commonest used in english but also the most difficult for thousand of english language learners to pronunce correctly . thanks you emma for you personal endeavour to help us to use these differencies in english. I ve been following you on youtube but today explanation have healed my wound of th pronunciation.
I think this video is thrilling. Therefore I watched it thousands of times this month. The teacher is the most excellent on earth. I love her method and I'm very thankful to her 🤗💜
I don't have a problems with TH in the beginning of the sentence, but only in the middle. So that is my weak area the middle. The enthusiasm and strength is little tricky for me. But to be honest I think I'm getting better.
Thank you Emma!!! I’ve been trying to learn how to pronounce this for years! A lot of times people used to ask me to repeat what I said because I was pronouncing it sooo wrong. Now people actually understand what I mean 😂!
The misused nature related term willow must be edited out and changed - purity terms that are tree / plant / flower related or other nature related terms cannot be in someone’s name or yt name, and such terms only reflect me!
Anwy, I never liked the TH sound, to be honest, so all should pronounce the TH sounds like a normal D or a half D or a T or a half T / airy T etc!

Hy my teach Emmma, good morning. This tongue gym is very stronger for the brain muscle: i think, i thoungt, i thank always for this channel, really excellent work all a coach
My favourite TH tongue twister for my students!! Also love this lesson, it's a very clear and easy way to express the TH sound, which can be so so hard for most people!
THANKS A LOT XD one day I totally forgot how to pronounce the th sound. I was trying to correct a kid who said it wrong, but when I tried to teach him how.. I forgot!. It´s been a year and GOD I´M SO HAPPY XD. FOR REAL THANKS A LOT
Let me tell you something , your lesson helped me big deal in my fluency , you see I'm a native arabic speaker with an Egyptian Dialect and in our day to day language we use both the S sound and the TH sound as the same for Example there is a name we use and it is literally written and pronounced "Tharwat" in the formal arabic but in our dialect we pronounce it " Sarwat " so there is almost no Egyptian know how to say that sound Thanks from Egypt Right next to the Great Pyramid of Giza hope you come and see Egypt when things become right again
θank you so much you just solved a great problem :) So it's /ð/ when: - At the beginning of STRUCTURE WORDS: ðat, ðese, ðey, ðə - Between TWO VOWELS: Faðer, Moðer. - In the end when followed by 'e': Bathe.
Thank you, Miss Emma! As an Indian, I find it quite challenging to pronounce the 'th' sound as well as the 'v' and 'w' sounds(I end up interchanging the sounds in sentences). On top of that, I go back to my old way of pronouncing words when I am in conversation with someone whereas, I nail them when practising alone. This is so bizarre!
i finally can pronounce the TH in "Through" Thank you very much 😅 it's just a difficult word (I'm from Germany) and i was always scared to read aloud texts that contain this word. 😓
Perfect. I m using elsa app to improve my pronunciation and I was unable to pronounce th sound at end of the word. For example bath, path, month etc. But your trick to keep a tounge in between upper and lower teeth worked so well. You are a great tutor
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Madam I m a learner so i need to learn all English sounds to pronounce. I want you to teach me all sounds of English language to pronounce. Thanks a lot.
Lovely teacher , lovely lesson very helpful . Thanks a lot it is very thoughtful of you teaching us "th" sounds. I always have problem with this sound.👍👍
Good tip about the tension in your tongue on the "th" sound. I was having a lot of trouble pronouncing this sound before and would pronounce think as "sink" or "fink" or "tink". I will try to keep this in mind from now on. Thank you!
Thank you so much! My english teachers never explained how to place the tongue to make the different sounds. Now it is much easier, I'm finally getting the right pronunciation.
I'm quite comfortable with both voiced and unvoiced "th" sounds, but I struggle a bit with the transitions from an S sound. For example "I was thinking". Naturally, I either go to "I was sinking" or "I was tinking". The transition from S to TH is tough. I'm an EU-PT native.
I'm also a lusophone (PT-BR) and struggled with that kind of sentence as well. What I did was try to pronounce it very slowly, then gradually increase the speed over time. It took me a while, but now I'm pretty comfortable with it.
I've gone through all my life thinking there must be something wrong with my tongue because I couldn't pronounce that sound right to save my life! Which is terrible since voice acting is an interest of mine that I want to explore. I reckon that good pronounciation is important in that field lol So when I heard the sound come from my own mouth, I felt like a kid who finally discovered the taste of chocolate after pining for it for so long. Ahhhhh, thank you for this video!!
thank you for this lesson. i'm from indonesa student,i am studying English in indonesia,. it's difficult to pronunciation "th" i am going to practice again and again.
Sorry to comment on such an old comment, but you have a period (.) at the end of a sentence, and punctuation (,) in between, so instead of “Hey Emma.” it would be “Hey Emma,” Hope this helps a bit
Thanks Emma! I completely agree with your point about the tongue as a muscle - so many learners (and teachers) neglect this crucial element. Your explanations and examples are fantastic - thanks for the inspiration (:
Emma, your diction is so perfect!! You've helped me a lot when I was an intermidiate student. And even now I keep watching your videos, cause theres always something new to learn and cause its so relaxing to hear you. Thanks a lot for the content!!!
Americans I know don't say hah8ch, but rather simply 8ch (ch as in choo choo train) for the H of TH. Hearing that HAH8CH over and over really grated on my (native of East coast of USA) ear. Discussion of tongue position of the voiced/voiceless TH sounds seems quite accurate and helpful, as is the contrast of content vs structure words. Practicing the example sentences given would, I feel sure, be very beneficial to English learners. I think the video is a very good aid for those who want to learn to pronounce English TH correctly.
Hi Emma! A great tutorial, as usual. Could you please make a video on pronouncing difficult combinations of sounds, like 'is the same', 'loathe such phrases'. A little suggestion is to leave a bit longer pauses to repeat ling sentences. Even though my English is advanced, I often can't finish on time. Thank you again for all your great videos!
Breath is a noun and breathe is a verb.Breathe means taking a breath.While breath is the process of inhaling and exhaling.I guess you know urdu so I can explain it like breath is Saans and to breathe is saans lena. Sentences: Breath : Sit down , take a deep breath and then think. Breathe: The carbonmonoxide made it difficult to breathe. I hope it helps!
if you are having difficulties to pronounce consecutive th, like: "that thought" and you practice and practice and and it's still bad, don't worry, naturally, when you don't notice, you will can know the exact times to do and undo the tongue movement other tip: lips can be important to specify how the sound will be, for example: three, your pronounce will be better when you adjust your lips pronouncing "three": There are consonants that are impossible to pronounce with r, like Schrödinger, you can think in the same way to "three", try to pronounce "th", stop, and then pronounce "ree" the "ree", to pronounce this r, your tip of your tongue needs to be a little bit down, when you are finishing pronouncing "th", you can automatically down your tip of your tongue to get ready to pronounce "ree", relax and pronounce slowly, but without breaks

I've gone through all my life thinking there must be something wrong with my tongue because I couldn't pronounce that sound right to save my life! Which is terrible since voice acting is an interest of mine that I want to explore. I reckon that good pronounciation is important in that field lol
So when I heard the sound come from my own mouth, I felt like a kid who finally discovered the taste of chocolate after pining for it for so long. Ahhhhh, thank you for this video!!
thank you for this lesson.
i'm from indonesa student,i am studying English in indonesia,.
it's difficult to pronunciation "th" i am going to practice again and again.
I've been looking for this confused 'th' sound... Here you go, I got you! Thank you. 👍
Hey Emma. Thank you so much for this great lesson. My tongue twister is this,
The thin thieves thought a thousand thoughts.
Sorry to comment on such an old comment, but you have a period (.) at the end of a sentence, and punctuation (,) in between, so instead of “Hey Emma.” it would be “Hey Emma,” Hope this helps a bit
your lesson is so many education and it help me há pronunciation
so wonderful
Thanks Emma! I completely agree with your point about the tongue as a muscle - so many learners (and teachers) neglect this crucial element. Your explanations and examples are fantastic - thanks for the inspiration (:
Thanks Al!
Best teacher ever🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes Emma “Th” is weird it can be understood through tough thorough thought, though. Like that for example 😄😄
😂👌👌
Thank you so much for such easy explanation!
Emma, your diction is so perfect!! You've helped me a lot when I was an intermidiate student. And even now I keep watching your videos, cause theres always something new to learn and cause its so relaxing to hear you. Thanks a lot for the content!!!
Americans I know don't say hah8ch, but rather simply 8ch (ch as in choo choo train) for the H of TH. Hearing that HAH8CH over and over really grated on my (native of East coast of USA) ear. Discussion of tongue position of the voiced/voiceless TH sounds seems quite accurate and helpful, as is the contrast of content vs structure words. Practicing the example sentences given would, I feel sure, be very beneficial to English learners. I think the video is a very good aid for those who want to learn to pronounce English TH correctly.
Hi Emma, the best as usual 👏, thanks for awesome tips 🙏
Muhammad Kamran thank you!
I hate having a speech impediment so this really helps out, thank you very much!
Finally I undestend ! You're awesome ❤
Whenever I watch your videos, i get enjoy, I love your teaching style . God bless you.
Hi Emma! A great tutorial, as usual. Could you please make a video on pronouncing difficult combinations of sounds, like 'is the same', 'loathe such phrases'.
A little suggestion is to leave a bit longer pauses to repeat ling sentences. Even though my English is advanced, I often can't finish on time.
Thank you again for all your great videos!
I thank Timothy for being thoughtful.
Nice video Emma... the imitation method to learn English is very good one..
Thanks, Amine! I'm glad you find it helpful!
Thank you...I feel I found the simplest teaching how to pronounce english correctly. God bless you.
Thank you dear Emma, could you help me in these two words *breath* and *breathe* ?! My brother embarrassed me with that 😅
you'll find that in the dictionary.cambridge.org
Hope it helps
Breath is a noun and breathe is a verb.Breathe means taking a breath.While breath is the process of inhaling and exhaling.I guess you know urdu so I can explain it like breath is Saans and to breathe is saans lena.
Sentences:
Breath : Sit down , take a deep breath and then think.
Breathe: The carbonmonoxide made it difficult to breathe.
I hope it helps!
if you are having difficulties to pronounce consecutive th, like: "that thought" and you practice and practice and and it's still bad, don't worry, naturally, when you don't notice, you will can know the exact times to do and undo the tongue movement
other tip: lips can be important to specify how the sound will be, for example: three, your pronounce will be better when you adjust your lips
pronouncing "three": There are consonants that are impossible to pronounce with r, like Schrödinger, you can think in the same way to "three", try to pronounce "th", stop, and then pronounce "ree"
the "ree", to pronounce this r, your tip of your tongue needs to be a little bit down, when you are finishing pronouncing "th", you can automatically down your tip of your tongue to get ready to pronounce "ree", relax and pronounce slowly, but without breaks
Looking nice & informative. Waiting from a long time
