Now, the TH sound is not a very common sound in most languages.

00:17
In fact, most speakers work really hard not to stick their tongues out when

00:30
Now, I find that the most difficult thing about the sound is pronouncing it right

ใ•ใฆใ€ใ“ใฎ้Ÿณใงๆœ€ใ‚‚้›ฃใ—ใ„ใฎใฏใ€

00:42
Tip of the tongue consonants are sounds that are produced

00:45
with a tip of the tongue.

ใ€‚
00:46
For example, T.

ใŸใจใˆใฐใ€Tใ€
00:49
D, N, and L.
12
49760

Dใ€Nใ€L ใชใฉใงใ™ใ€‚
00:53
So the tongue goes up and touches right behind the teeth on that

And also, S and Z.

Now when these consonants, these six constants appear right

01:29
Alright, so let's begin with a transition from the N to the
22
89385
3370
ใงใฏใ€
01:32
TH, as in "in the" or "month".
23

01:37
All right.
24
97740
269
ใ‚ใ‹ใฃใŸใ€‚
01:38
So basically to produce the end sound, the tongue goes up and touches
25

ใคใพใ‚Šใ€ๅŸบๆœฌ็š„ใซใ‚จใƒณใƒ‰ใ‚ตใ‚ฆใƒณใƒ‰ใ‚’็”Ÿๆˆใ™ใ‚‹ใŸใ‚ใซ ใ€่ˆŒใŒไธŠใซไธŠใŒใ‚Šใ€

01:44
And then you're supposed to push your tongue out for the TH - 'the'.
27
104670
3420
ใใ—ใฆใ€ TH - 'the' ใฎใŸใ‚ใซ่ˆŒใ‚’็ชใๅ‡บใ™ใ“ใจใซใชใฃใฆใ„ใพใ™ใ€‚
01:48
But you have to work hard to push the tongue out and to make
28
108660
4019
ใงใ‚‚ใ€้ ‘ๅผตใฃใฆ ่ˆŒใ‚’ๅ‡บใ—ใฆใ€ใ—ใฃใ‹ใ‚Š

01:54
'in the'.
30
114220
620
'ใฎไธญใซ'ใ€‚
01:55
So here's a little tip.
31
115330
1040
ใใ“ใงใ€ใกใ‚‡ใฃใจใ—ใŸใƒ’ใƒณใƒˆใงใ™ใ€‚
01:57
Cheat.
32
117539
601
ๆตฎๆฐ—ใ€‚
01:58
And instead of placing the tongue behind the teeth, just
33
118920
3210
่ˆŒใ‚’ๆญฏใฎๅพŒใ‚ใซ็ฝฎใใฎใงใฏใชใใ€

place it on the teeth, 'in'.
34
122130
2460
ๆญฏใฎไธŠใซ็ฝฎใใ ใ‘ใงใ™ใ€‚
02:05
Now, the sound doesn't change, right?
35
125085
2159
ใ•ใฆใ€้Ÿณใฏๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‚ˆใญ๏ผŸ
02:07
'in' - 'in'.
36
127664
1681
ใ€Œใงใ€ - ใ€Œใงใ€ใ€‚
02:10
But then my tongue is already out there, ready for the 'th': 'in the'.
37
130095
4939
ใ—ใ‹ใ—ใ€็งใฎ่ˆŒใฏใ™ใงใซ ใใ“ใซใ‚ใ‚Šใ€ใ€Œthใ€๏ผšใ€Œin theใ€ใฎๆบ–ๅ‚™ใŒใงใใฆใ„ใพใ™ใ€‚
02:15
Alright?
38
135614
241
02:15
So you see the tongue goes up, touches the teeth, 'in', and then
39
135855
3810
ๅคงไธˆๅคซ๏ผŸ
่ˆŒใŒไธŠใŒใ‚Šใ€ ๆญฏใซ่งฆใ‚Œใฆใ€Œใ‚คใƒณใ€ใ—ใ€
02:19
I'm relaxing the tongue, allowing the air to pass to create the TH sound.

02:24
'in the', 'on the', 'on this', 'on that', 'win things'.
41

ใ€Œใงใ€ใ€ใ€Œใงใ€ใ€ใ€Œใ“ใ‚Œใงใ€ใ€ใ€Œ ใ‚ใ‚Œใงใ€ใ€ใ€Œ็‰ฉไบ‹ใซๅ‹ใคใ€ใ€‚
02:35
All right.
42
155805
330
ใ‚ใ‹ใฃใŸใ€‚
02:36
Let's take another example, the T.
43
156165
2290
ใ‚‚ใ† 1 ใคใฎไพ‹ใ€T ใ‚’่ฆ‹ใฆใฟใพใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ€‚T ใ‚’
02:39
If I say the T and right after the TH, 'at the', alright, I have this space:
44
159225
5732
่จ€ใ„ใ€TH ใฎ ็›ดๅพŒใซใ€Œat theใ€ใจ่จ€ใ†ใจใ€
02:44
'at_the', I break between the two words.
45
164957
3358
ใ€Œat_theใ€ใจใ„ใ†ใ‚นใƒšใƒผใ‚นใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ€‚
02:48
I don't want that.
46
168315
690
็งใฏใใ‚Œใ‚’ใ—ใŸใใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ใ€‚
02:49
So let's produce the T on the teeth: 'at-', you see the tongue goes up, 'at-
47
169185
6690
ใใ‚Œใงใฏใ€ๆญฏใซ T ใ‚’ๅ‡บใ—ใพใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ€‚ใ€Œ at-ใ€ใ€่ˆŒใŒไธŠใŒใ‚‹ใฎใŒใ‚ใ‹ใ‚Šใพใ™
02:56
the', and then I relax it for the TH.
48
176445
3060
ใ€‚
02:59
'at the'.
49
179865
630
ใ€Œใงใ€ใ€‚
03:01
Or 'eighth', 'eighth', you don't have to pronounce it as 'eight-th', right,
50
181245
6524
ใพใŸใฏใ€ใ€Œ8 ็•ช็›ฎใ€ใ€ใ€Œ8 ็•ช็›ฎใ€ใ€ใ€Œ8 ็•ช็›ฎใ€ใจ็™บ้Ÿณใ™ใ‚‹ๅฟ…่ฆใฏใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“
03:07
we don't want to have that break.
51
187769
1500
ใ€‚
03:09
It's one sound, 'eighth'.
52
189540
2388
ใ€Œ8ๅบฆใ€ใจใ„ใ†1้Ÿณใงใ™ใ€‚
03:11
'At this'.
53
191928
1392
ใ€Œใ“ใ‚Œใงใ€ใ€‚
03:13
Let's try the D: 'd-th', 'd-th', alright.
54
193320
4872
D ใ‚’่ฉฆใ—ใฆใฟใพใ—ใ‚‡ใ†: 'd-th', 'd-th', ใ‚ใ‹ใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ.
03:18
So the tongue is already on the teeth for the D: 'd-th' as in "width",
55
198192
8620
ใ—ใŸใŒใฃใฆใ€ ใ€Œๅน…ใ€ใ€
03:26
or "good thing", "good thing".
56
206812
3707
ใพใŸใฏใ€Œ่‰ฏใ„ใ“ใจใ€ใ€ใ€Œ่‰ฏใ„ใ“ใจใ€ใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใซใ€D: 'd-th' ใฎ่ˆŒใฏใ™ใงใซๆญฏใซใคใ„ใฆใ„ใพใ™ใ€‚
03:30
All right?
57
210570
300
03:30
So we always connect words together.
58
210900
2040
ใ‚ใ‹ใฃใŸ๏ผŸ
ใใฎใŸใ‚ใ€็งใŸใกใฏๅธธใซ่จ€่‘‰ใ‚’ใคใชใŽๅˆใ‚ใ›ใฆใ„ใพใ™ใ€‚
03:32
So whenever a word ends with a D and the next word begins with a TH, then
59
212940
5585
ใคใพใ‚Šใ€ๅ˜่ชžใŒ D ใง็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚Šใ€ ๆฌกใฎๅ˜่ชžใŒ TH ใงๅง‹ใพใ‚‹ใจใใฏใ„ใคใงใ‚‚ใ€
03:38
this transition is present, right?
60
218525
2935
ใ“ใฎ้ท็งปใŒๅญ˜ๅœจใ—ใพใ™ใ‚ˆใญ?
03:41
So we have to work on these transitions, not only in phrases but separately.
61
221460
6300
ใ—ใŸใŒใฃใฆใ€ใ“ใ‚Œใ‚‰ใฎใƒˆใƒฉใƒณใ‚ธใ‚ทใƒงใƒณใฏใ€ ใƒ•ใƒฌใƒผใ‚บใ ใ‘ใงใชใใ€ๅ€‹ๅˆฅใซไฝœๆฅญใ™ใ‚‹ๅฟ…่ฆใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ€‚
03:48
So, my recommendation is to work on these transitions every day.
62
228329
5641
ใ—ใŸใŒใฃใฆใ€็งใฎๆŽจๅฅจไบ‹้ …ใฏใ€ ใ“ใ‚Œใ‚‰ใฎ็งป่กŒใซๆฏŽๆ—ฅๅ–ใ‚Š็ต„ใ‚€ใ“ใจใงใ™ใ€‚
03:54
Just the transitions, like this: 'd-th', 'd-th', 'd-th', 'd-th'.
63
234210
6052
ใ€Œd-thใ€ใ€ใ€Œd-thใ€ใ€ใ€Œd-thใ€ใ€ใ€Œd-thใ€ใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใชใƒˆใƒฉใƒณใ‚ธใ‚ทใƒงใƒณใฎใฟใ€‚
04:00
Or T-TH: 't-th', 't-th', 't-th'.
64
240262
4044
ใพใŸใฏ T-TH: 't-th', 't-th', 't-th'.
04:04
Or N-TH: 'n-th', 'n-th', 'n-th'.
65
244306
4044
ใพใŸใฏ N-TH: ใ€Œn-thใ€ใ€ใ€Œn-thใ€ใ€ใ€Œn-thใ€ใ€‚
04:08
And then when you come across a phrase like "good thing", your tongue is already
66
248400
3899
ใใ—ใฆใ€ ใ€Œ่‰ฏใ„ใ“ใจใ€ใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใชใƒ•ใƒฌใƒผใ‚บใซๅ‡บใใ‚ใ™ใจใ€ใ‚ใชใŸใฎ่ˆŒใฏใ™ใงใซ

67
252299
1801
ใ“ใฎ็งป่กŒใซๆ…ฃใ‚Œใฆใ„ใพใ™.
04:14
Now, another good reason why you should practice it is that if you tend to keep
68

ใ•ใฆใ€ใ‚ใชใŸใŒใใ‚Œใ‚’็ทด็ฟ’ใ™ในใใ‚‚ใ†ไธ€ใคใฎๆญฃๅฝ“ใช็†็”ฑใฏใ€
04:20
the tongue inside for the tip of the tongue consonants, like "good thing",
69
260310
4740
ใ€Œ่‰ฏใ„ใ“ใจใ€ใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใซใ€่ˆŒใฎๅญ้Ÿณใฎๅ…ˆ็ซฏใฎใŸใ‚ใซ่ˆŒใ‚’ๅ†…ๅดใซไฟใคๅ‚พๅ‘ใŒใ‚ใ‚‹ๅ ดๅˆใ€
04:25
then sometimes the tendency is to keep the tongue inside also for the TH, and

04:30
then it's going to sound like 'good ting', or 'in duh' instead of 'in the'.

That's why we want to anticipate the TH sound.
