Video Transcript:<\/h2><\/p>\n The TH sound is one of the trickiest for my students to master, and in this video you\u2019re going to get 5 powerful \u201caha tips\u201d to turn on the light bulb so you can master this sound.\u00a0 After the tips we\u2019ll do some comparisons and you\u2019ll see me trying to teach my toddler this sound.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going over the tips I use when I\u2019m working with a student.\u00a0 As you\u2019re actually practicing the TH and getting it, this will\u00a0 be what you\u2019ll want to watch.\u00a0 These tips will help you finally get this really tough sound. You may have already seen my how-to video on the TH, a great video with illustrations and up-close, slow motion views of the mouth.\u00a0 I\u2019ll link to that at the end of the video if you want to see it again.<\/p>\n
Tip 1:\u00a0 TH is not a stop consonant.\u00a0 Voiced, unvoiced, it\u2019s the same:\u00a0 it\u2019s a free flow of air.\u00a0 I\u2019ve worked with many students who put pressure into their sound, which stops the air.\u00a0 Then it sounds like this:\u00a0 th, th, th.\u00a0 A release.\u00a0 We don\u2019t want a stop and release, we want a gentle, free flow of air.\u00a0 Th, th, th.\u00a0 Try that with me now.\u00a0 Th, th. So, no stop, no pressure.<\/p>\n
Tip 2, and this will help with the light free flow of air:\u00a0 It\u2019s just the very tip of the tongue that comes through the teeth.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen lots of students really working on the TH, and they bring too much of their tongue out.\u00a0 That makes it harder to have a lighter sound.\u00a0 Here is an excerpt from a live class where I\u2019m talking about this.<\/p>\n
Okay, I think it’s possible\u00a0that more of your tongue\u00a0is coming out than it needs to.<\/p>\n
Think, it’s not this,\u00a0it’s instead this,\u00a0right, it’s very subtle.<\/p>\n
Let me get my camera here,\u00a0I’m gonna bring the camera to my mouth\u00a0rather than vice versa.\u00a0So, some people will do<\/p>\n
the T-H like this.\u00a0That’s way too much tongue,\u00a0it should be this.<\/p>\n
That’s not very much\u00a0coming through, is it?<\/p>\n
The, the, the, that’s not,\u00a0thank you, the, the.<\/p>\n
We never want anything like that,\u00a0it’s so much the tip, the\u00a0tip, the, the, the, the.<\/p>\n
Tip 3:\u00a0 One idea that I\u2019ve seen help students is change how you think of it:\u00a0 don\u2019t think of it as the tongue tip coming through the teeth.\u00a0 Think of it as the very top of the tongue pressing up on the bottom of the top front teeth.\u00a0 So this part, pressing lightly up here, th, th, th.\u00a0 That helps the bottom of the jaw be less tight up against the teeth and allows for that free flow of air.\u00a0 So the tongue does come through the teeth, but just changing your idea about the point of contact can really help.\u00a0 Th, th, just a light press up on the bottom of the top front teeth.<\/p>\n
Watch a student making an adjustment:<\/p>\n
And also another thing is\u00a0and I know you’re doing it extra hard\u00a0because we’re working on it\u00a0but we shouldn’t be pressing\u00a0too much air into it.\u00a0There’s not that much air in a T-H.\u00a0Le me hear you just do that.<\/p>\n
Right, and even that might\u00a0be a little too much air.\u00a0So, you can think of\u00a0taking some pressure out\u00a0it’s a little bit easier.\u00a0And another thing can help with the T-H.\u00a0Rather than thinking about the tongue coming between the teeth,\u00a0think about the tongue-tip\u00a0lightly touching the top teeth,\u00a0the bottoms of them.<\/p>\n
So, you think of this\u00a0being your point of contact\u00a0rather than both.\u00a0Just think about the top.<\/p>\n
Right, right, that sounds\u00a0a little bit better.\u00a0It sounds a little bit lighter to me.\u00a0It sounds like there’s little\u00a0bit less pressure maybe.<\/p>\n
\u00a0And for some people\u00a0that can just be simplifying.\u00a0Okay, I’m not thinking of\u00a0it coming through the teeth\u00a0but I’m just thinking of it lifting\u00a0and it just, like, peaks out\u00a0as it lifts and touches the\u00a0bottom of the top front teeth.\u00a0And that just little adjustment\u00a0can sometimes really make the difference\u00a0it it being more relaxed.<\/p>\n
Tip 4:\u00a0 There is a voiced and an unvoiced version of this sound.\u00a0 Position is the same (sort of!\u00a0 See tip 5!).\u00a0 This is true of a lot of sound pairs in English, P and B, S and Z, but we tend to think of those as two separate sounds.\u00a0 For both TH sounds, we call them the TH, but there are still two of them.\u00a0 So, TH, unvoiced when you just let air through, th– or th– th– TH when you make a vocal sound, it’s voiced, th– th–\u00a0So the TH in \u2018thin\u2019 is a different sound than the TH in \u2018this\u2019.\u00a0 Th– \u2018thin\u2019 it\u2019s unvoiced, and th– \u2018this\u2019 th– it\u2019s voiced.<\/p>\n
Tip 5:\u00a0 there is a shortcut you can do for the voiced TH when it begins an unstressed word.\u00a0 This happens a lot, because the most common word in English, THE, begins with the voiced TH and is unstressed.\u00a0 For these cases, you don\u2019t actually need to bring the tongue tip through the teeth.\u00a0 You can press it behind the teeth.<\/p>\n
Watch me talk about it in a lesson:<\/p>\n
And if it’s a word like the, or that, or this, that’s unstressed then it’s even, it often<\/p>\n
doesn’t even come through.\u00a0It would be this, the, the and you can see, it’s pressing there you can see it through the teeth.\u00a0\u00a0But it’s not actually coming through.\u00a0We do that with the\u00a0word, the, all the time.<\/p>\n
It really helps seeing it up close like that, doesn\u2019t it?\u00a0 That last one is a tip that really makes a big difference:\u00a0 you don\u2019t actually need to bring the tongue tip through the teeth because in those unstressed words, we want to make them so short, we just don\u2019t want to take the time to bring the tip all the way through.\u00a0 Practice the word \u2018the\u2019 with me, and make sure your tongue is touching behind the teeth, not coming all the way through.<\/p>\n
The, the, the,\u00a0the,\u00a0the,\u00a0the,\u00a0the,\u00a0the.\u00a0 Notice how quickly I\u2019m making that:\u00a0 the, the. The best, the only, the kitchen, the subway, the video, the other.\u00a0the,\u00a0the,\u00a0the,\u00a0the,\u00a0the.<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s do some comparisons.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have this sound in your own language, there is a good chance you\u2019re substituting a different sound for it.<\/p>\n
For the voiced TH, the most common mistake is to make a D sound instead.\u00a0 So \u2018brother\u2019 sounds like \u2018bruder\u2019, and \u2018the\u2019 sounds like \u2018de\u2019.\u00a0 Now, these might sound the same to you, but they sound different to native speakers.\u00a0 So if you know the difference in tongue position, you should still be able to make the sound correctly.\u00a0 The tongue tip is making light contact, you don’t stop the air of course for the TH.<\/p>\n
For the D, tongue tip is at the roof of the mouth. And you do stop the air.\u00a0 Da- da-. And you know the shortcut for words like \u2018the\u2019 from tip 5:\u00a0 the tongue tip presses against the backs of teeth,\u00a0but that’s still not lifted, it’s still not at the roof of the mouth, because that would be a D. A common mistake is to make the F instead of the unvoiced TH. Th– instead of th–.<\/p>\n
My son Stoney does this.\u00a0 He\u2019s three, and it\u2019s the only sound he can\u2019t get yet.\u00a0 He substitutes other sounds.\u00a0 For example, he\u2019ll say \u2018hing\u2019\u00a0instead of \u2018thing\u2019, and\u00a0he\u2019ll say \u2018marfa\u2019 instead\u00a0of \u2018Martha\u2019.\u00a0 He\u2019ll say \u2018free\u2019 instead of \u2018three\u2019.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re mistakenly substituting the F for TH, it\u2019s something you can see. Your bottom lip is doing the work, that\u2019s the F. Ff– ff– free. You know that\u2019s wrong for the unvoiced TH, the tongue tip has to come through the teeth. Th– th– three. Watch me try to have Stoney do this.<\/p>\n
Stoney and I are trying to learn the TH sound, and we’re using the name Martha, and Stoney keeps making an F sound and saying Marfa, let me see. Marfa. Right, that’s an F. Now watch me, honey. See my tongue? Can you try? Leave it out.<\/p>\n
>>\u00a0Leave it out.
You want to look on there?<\/p>\n
Marfa.<\/p>\n
So you’re going Marf–, you’re using your lip, but you want to use your tongue. Try your tongue. Put your tongue through your teeth. No, almost. Okay, bring your tongue tip through your teeth. Can you do that?
No, it’s not Marfa. Watch this, Stoney, do it with your tongue.<\/p>\n
Sticker, mommy.
Yeah.<\/p>\n
One more time.<\/p>\n
Okay, we’re gonna keep working on that because you’re making an F instead of a TH.<\/p>\n
I never did get him to bring the tongue tip through the teeth.\u00a0 Every time he tried, it was just the bottom lip that did the work.<\/p>\n
And finally S and Z.\u00a0 It\u2019s really common to substitute these two sounds for the TH.\u00a0 S for the unvoiced TH, and Z for the voiced TH.\u00a0 So \u2018think\u2019 sounds like \u2018sink\u2019:\u00a0 What do you \u2018sink\u2019?\u00a0 And \u2018the\u2019 sounds like \u2018zee\u2019:\u00a0 \u2018Zee only\u2019.<\/p>\n
Here I\u2019m working with a student who has a hard time making two definite and different sounds, S and TH.\u00a0 I talk about how to work on creating two distinct, clear, accurate sounds.\u00a0 It does take time, you\u2019re changing muscle memory and habit, but it\u2019s worth it.\u00a0 After you put in that work and that time, you have what you wanted.<\/p>\n
Okay, so, let me hear you say, think.<\/p>\n
Think.<\/p>\n
Good. Let me hear you say, sink.<\/p>\n
Sink.<\/p>\n
Okay, now I’m saying it with an S, sink.<\/p>\n
Sink.<\/p>\n
Okay, that sounds like a T-H to me. So, let’s get back to the S sound being really focused right here.<\/p>\n
Yes, sink.<\/p>\n
Sink.<\/p>\n
Right. Okay, so, that’s the S. Now, let’s switch back to the TH, tongue lightly touching the bottom of the top front teeth, think.<\/p>\n
Think.<\/p>\n
Right. And now, back to an S, teeth together, really\u00a0focused sound, sink.<\/p>\n
Sink.<\/p>\n
Right. Good, okay, when this\u00a0class goes into the Academy, which it usually takes one to two weeks, come back and watch this part. We’re moving really slowly, really intentionally, thinking about the sound first, thinking about the position\u00a0and then saying it.<\/p>\n
And now they’re becoming more clear. TH is becoming much more TH, S becoming much more S. And so, I think you’re gonna have to work that slowly here for a while. And what I would do, is I would do some where you’re doing a minimal pair like this, think, sink, and really think about the\u00a0position before you make it. But then I would also take some days where you just go work on S.<\/p>\n
And that entire time, you’re thinking about a very narrow, focused S sound. And then days where you’re\u00a0just working on TH. And there you’re thinking about light, no pressure in the sound and the bottom of the top\u00a0front teeth being your contact. So, I think that you know, you’ve said you’ve done a lot of work but to me the two sounds weren’t distinct.<\/p>\n
And so, you may have\u00a0been really solidifying something that was not clear. And so, now we need to stop\u00a0practicing over and over, and just practice on the clarity which is very slow like you’ve seen. Stopping, thinking of\u00a0a position, making it. But then it was really\u00a0cleaning up the sounds and they were really starting to sound more accurate, more clear.<\/p>\n
So, spend your time\u00a0being very intentional. And then you can say, okay, now I’m taking the S, I’m feeling more confident in the S. And you can do more of the listen and repeat, where you’re being less intentional and you’re just going on what you hear. But I think for now, because it’s a strong habit, of sort of a TH-S mix. Because that’s a habit, it’s important to really stop, think before you make the sound. And that’s very tedious but that phase won’t last\u00a0too long if you really do it. If you really dedicate your time to that, it will start to become a habit, the sounds will start to<\/p>\n
be more clear for you.<\/p>\n
Now you heard me talking about practicing in the Academy.\u00a0 That\u2019s my online school where I\u2019ve developed all kinds of materials to help my students train, change their muscle memory, develop the right sounds, rhythm, and intonation of American English.\u00a0 That\u2019s also where I teach these live classes once a month.\u00a0 It is the best way to improve your listening comprehension and pronunciation of American English.\u00a0 I\u2019ll put a link here and also in the video description, so that you can join if you’d like. I have students from all over the world, come join me in the Academy.<\/p>\n
I hope this video has helped!\u00a0 Now go work on the TH sounds.\u00a0 And please use the Comments to tell me about why this video was helpful.\u00a0 Which of these Tips do you think is the most important and why?\u00a0 What specific teaching will you be putting into action?<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s the lesson I told you about at the beginning of this video, the how-to video on these sounds.\u00a0 Be sure to check it out if you haven\u2019t seen it before.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it, and thanks so much for using Rachel\u2019s English.<\/p>\n
