Pronunciation of 'th' - English In A Minute

Wonderful!

I'm a B2 English speaker, and I always pronounced "θ" like a regular f, and I only realized they were different sounds after I saw a sketch that played with death and deaf. Now it's going to be really hard for me to relearn...

Arabic has equivalent letters for both.
Mo'th'er: ذ
'th'ing: ث

third = 3rd

I have been neglecting pronunciation for a long time and didn't know how bad mine was, it's so hard doing that.

im learning to sound more native.
These phonetic symbols were the hardest for me to replicate.

How in the world do you even make a sound while biting your freaking tongue at the same time?

EXCELLENT!

The difference is so light that i cant really notice it and people don't even realize that when i am speaking, haha

<3 Thanks!!

الله الله 🎉

Wow, It works!

Is there a rule?

Voiced not clear and not matching with this.

Furthermore, could you

Muy bueno el vídeo

I have a gap between my front upper teeth which makes this easier but also weirder

There are 2 kinds of "th", one is the "th" with a soft tone, like pronouncing s but having your tongue on your teeth. The other one is the "th", with a harder tone, where your lower pairs of teeth bite the tongue and make a th sound without having an "s"

why has no one told me this all my life this is a gamechanger thank you so much

I still can't tell, how both sounds are any different from "v" and "f". Like "three" and "free". I can't hear it.

thank you so much ^^

I am too scared I might spit on somebody! 😀

Omg now I understand, thank you so much 🙏

Very hard to understand 😢

People here in germany joke about me when I put the tongue between the teeth

It feel so awkward

Th-fronting English speakers are disgusting.

i always though that they were pronounced as the normal "f" sound

why do people pronounce it like ''f'' and still claim that it is a British accent in Poland?

That's so goddamn easy it's pronounced differently depending on placements in the word it's either similar to the Arabic خ or the one you call hard is the same as a Kabylian sound that's like between a soft /ʃ/ and a /θ/

I can't pounce properly even after i watch this video several times, because when i put my tongue between teeth, there is no place for me to blow, they are too close! Can someone help me😢

As a Dane, I spend the most of my life unknowingly pronouncing th as a d. It's uncomfortable to switch over to the right pronounciation, but it has to be done, and sooner rather than later.

I am ze german speaker. I speak ze german very well but ze english I suck at.

No seriously. My achilles heel. I speak english since before I can remember, but I always had a strong german accent, 99% due to the th sound, I am sure.

I honestly don't hear much of a difference between the tongue between teeth and the way I normally say it, which means both sound very german.

Tip of the tongue behind the upper teeth?

You mean to say I just had to watch a 1 minute video explaining how to do it, to master it?!?!? Damn

Bruh, this just changed my life!

Thanks for the video, but instead of saying the voiced and unvoiced th sounds one by one, I wish you had grouped them and said them that way. I wish you had read the voiced th words first and then the unvoiced th words.

bro who even watches this

Thank you! 👋

Very useful video.❤

I can't feel the difference sorry

Excellent.
