We&#8217;ll watch them in slow motion, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent8\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and we&#8217;ll discuss what the mouth is doing to link the sounds. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent9\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Let&#8217;s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent10\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">This thing. Here we&#8217;re linking the S with the TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent11\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here the tongue comes through for the first TH sound, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent12\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">tongue tip stays just behind the bottom teeth as they come together for the S, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent13\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and the tongue comes through again for the TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent14\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So the movement from the S to the TH is quite simple. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent15\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Teeth go from being closed, with the tongue just behind the bottom teeth <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent16\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to parting with the tongue coming through. Let&#8217;s watch again. This thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent17\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;re linking the Z with the voiced TH. Was that. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent18\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Even though the sounds are different than the previous example, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent19\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the mouth position is the same for both sounds. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent20\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">However, in this case there&#8217;s going to be a difference. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent21\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Teeth close for the Z sound, but the tongue tip doesn&#8217;t <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent22\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">really come through the teeth for the TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent23\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">That&#8217;s because you can get away with making the voiced TH sound, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent24\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">especially at the beginning of an unstressed syllable, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent25\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">by pressing the tongue behind the closed teeth. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent26\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So, the tongue tip will press behind where the teeth come together, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent27\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">but not actually come all the way through like it does straightforward <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent28\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">for the unvoiced TH. Let&#8217;s watch again. Was that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent29\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here I&#8217;m linking a stop T with the voiced TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent30\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Something interesting happens here. Sit there. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent31\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Rather than the tongue going up into the stop T position, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent32\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it simply comes out of the vowel, straight into the TH position. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent33\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">However, I don&#8217;t leave the stop T out. I still stop the sound before voicing <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent34\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the TH &#8212; sit there, sit there &#8212; so that we get the feel for the stop T. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent35\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">But rather than taking the tongue tip to the roof of the mouth, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent36\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I make the stop while bringing the tongue tip through the teeth. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent37\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Let&#8217;s watch again. Sit there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent38\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;re linking the V sound with the voiced TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent39\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It&#8217;s quite straightforward. You will clearly see both mouth positions. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent40\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Of these. The bottom lip comes up making contact with the top teeth for the V sound, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent41\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">then the lip pulls down and the tongue comes through the teeth for the TH sound. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent42\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Let&#8217;s watch again. Of these.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent43\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;re linking the P with the voiced TH. Again, it&#8217;s quite straightforward. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent44\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">You&#8217;ll clearly see the mouth position of both sounds. Hope the. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent45\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">The lips come together to make the P, and as they part, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent46\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the tongue tip comes through the teeth to make the TH. Watch again. Hope the.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent47\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;re linking the unvoiced TH with the ST consonant cluster. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent48\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">North star. The tongue comes through the teeth, to make the TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent49\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Then the tongue tip pulls back and touches just behind <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent50\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">the bottom of the front teeth while the teeth close to make the S sound. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent51\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Then the tongue tip will go up to the roof of the mouth to make the T. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent52\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Let&#8217;s watch again. North star.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent53\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;re connecting the unvoiced TH with the F consonant. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent54\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">You&#8217;ll be able to clearly see both mouth positions. With funny. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent55\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Tongue comes through the teeth for the TH, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent56\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and the bottom lip raises to touch the bottom <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent57\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">of the front top teeth for the F sound. Watch again. With funny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent58\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;re connecting the unvoiced TH with the W consonant sound. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent59\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Both will. Tongue comes through the teeth for the TH, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent60\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">then pulls back and the lips form the tight circle for the <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent61\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">W while the tongue tip is just behind the bottom front teeth. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent62\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Watch again. Both will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent63\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;ll see the unvoiced TH linking to the K consonant sound. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent64\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Health code. Tongue tip comes through the teeth for the TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent65\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">For the K, the tongue tip comes back in the mouth and goes down, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent66\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">touching behind the bottom front teeth. The back part of the tongue <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent67\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">raises and touches the soft palate, which is why you see a dark space in the mouth. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent68\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Watch again. Health code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent69\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Here we&#8217;ll see the unvoiced TH linking with the S sound. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent70\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">South side. Tongue tip comes through the teeth for the TH. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent71\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Then the tongue tip comes back into the mouth and lightly <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent72\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">touches behind the bottom front teeth while the teeth close to make the S sound. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent73\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Watch again. South side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent74\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I hope this study in linking words with the TH will make it <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent75\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">easy for you to link any word with the TH that you may come across. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent76\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Practice word pairs like the 10 here, or other word pairs, and do them slowly. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent77\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And practice them over and over. Repetition really will help you become <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent78\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">more comfortable linking with the TH sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent79\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">That&#8217;s it, and thanks so much for using Rachel&#8217;s English.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"STtranscriptContent80\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I&#8217;d like to take moment for a quick plug for a new course I&#8217;m developing. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent81\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It&#8217;s going to be an 8-week conversation course that runs in April and May of 2012. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent82\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It will bring together videos, audio clips, and exercise PDFs that <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent83\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I&#8217;ve made for my private students. So, I&#8217;ll be pulling in the topics that <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent84\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I find I work on the most with my students. Each week is structured with certain topics. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent85\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">There will be a lot of drilling practice, and also opportunity for <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent86\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you to record yourself and upload it for my comment. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent87\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">There will also be group projects, where you&#8217;ll be engaging in conversation with one another. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent88\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Because this is my first time running such a course, I am offering it at a discount, <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent89\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and I&#8217;m also limiting the number of students to 30. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent90\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So visit my website for more information, and do consider signing up. <\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent91\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I really think it will take you a long way in your pronunciation practice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"video\"><\/a><strong>Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1665-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/173%20-%20How%20to%20Link%20the%20TH%20Sound%20American%20English%20Pronunciation.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/173%20-%20How%20to%20Link%20the%20TH%20Sound%20American%20English%20Pronunciation.mp4\">https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/173%20-%20How%20to%20Link%20the%20TH%20Sound%20American%20English%20Pronunciation.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linking two consonants can be tough, and for many students linking the TH sound to another consonant is confusing. \u00a0Study how to work on TH links by looking at specific examples.
