Practice Your English Pronunciation Th /θ/ vs /z/ Sounds | Course #16

In this video,

Sa video na ito,

we are going to focus

pagtutuunan natin ng pansin

on two English consonant sounds.

ang dalawang tunog ng katinig sa Ingles.

The sounds th /ð/ and /z/.

Ang mga tunog ika /ð/ at /z/.

So the ‘th’ sound and a ‘z’ sound.

Kaya ang 'ika' na tunog at isang 'z' na tunog.

I know they sound very similar

Alam kong magkahawig sila

but they are actually quite different.

pero magkaiba talaga sila.

And they are very important sounds in English

At ang mga ito ay napakahalagang tunog sa Ingles

so I want you

kaya gusto kong

to be able to pronounce them correctly.

mabigkas mo ito nang tama.

Let's take two example words.

Kumuha tayo ng dalawang halimbawang salita.

The first word I have is the word ‘then’.

Ang unang salita na mayroon ako ay ang salitang 'tapos'.

Can you hear the th sound?

Naririnig mo ba ang tunog?

‘then’

'tapos'

The second word is ‘zen’.

Ang pangalawang salita ay 'zen'.

Can you hear the sound ‘z’?

Naririnig mo ba ang tunog na 'z'?

‘zen’

'zen'

So ‘then’ and ‘zen’.

Kaya 'tapos' at 'zen'.

I know this may sound complicated

I know this may sound complicated

because they sound similar

because they sound similar

but they are different, guys.

but they are different, guys.

And if you practice with me,

At kung magsasanay ka sa akin,

by the end of this video,

sa pagtatapos ng video na ito,

you will be able to pronounce them.

masasabi mo na ang mga ito.

So let's get started.

Kaya simulan na natin.

Before we learn about the consonant sounds

Bago natin matutunan ang tungkol sa mga katinig na tunog

‘th’ /ð/ and zed /z/ in English,

na 'th' /ð/ at zed /z/ sa English,

you should always know about the I.P.A spelling, guys.

dapat lagi mong alam ang tungkol sa IPA spelling, guys.

This is very useful.

Ito ay lubhang kapaki-pakinabang.

And you can also watch how I move my mouth

At maaari mo ring panoorin kung paano ko ginagalaw ang aking bibig

and please always try to repeat after me -

at mangyaring palaging subukang ulitin pagkatapos ko -

it's very important.

ito ay napakahalaga.

You can do it.

Kaya mo yan.

Let's do it together.

Sabay nating gawin.

Let's first learn how to produce the ‘th’ /ð/ sound in English.

Alamin muna natin kung paano gumawa ng tunog na 'ika' /ð/ sa Ingles.

But this ‘th’ is voiced.

Ngunit ang 'ika' na ito ay tininigan.

So you are going to use your voice

Kaya gagamitin mo ang iyong boses

You're going to use… um…

Gagamitin mo ang... um...

you're going to feel a vibration in your throat, okay.

makaramdam ka ng panginginig ng boses sa iyong lalamunan, okay.

And what you're going to do

At ang gagawin mo

is you're going to put your tongue between your teeth

ay ilalagay mo ang iyong dila sa pagitan ng iyong mga ngipin

and you're not going to push out some air.

at hindi ka maglalabas ng hangin.

What you're going to do,

Ang gagawin mo,

is you're going to create a vibration with your tongue.

gagawa ka ba ng vibration gamit ang iyong dila.

So your tongue has to vibrate, /ð/.

Kaya kailangang mag-vibrate ang iyong dila, /ð/.

Okay.

Okay.

Please watch my mouth and repeat after me.

Mangyaring bantayan ang aking bibig at ulitin pagkatapos ko.

Let's now move on to the /z/ sound.

Lumipat tayo ngayon sa tunog na /z/.

So this is voiced.

Kaya ito ay tininigan.

You are going to use your voice

Gagamitin mo ang iyong boses

and feel a vibration in your throat.

at makaramdam ng panginginig ng boses sa iyong lalamunan.

You're going to put your tongue

Ilalagay mo ang iyong dila

against your bottom teeth

laban sa iyong pang-ilalim na ngipin

and you're going to make it vibrate.

at gagawin mo itong manginig.

Ang mga salitang ito, na may halos magkatulad na mga tunog,

And they're very good if you really want to hear the difference.

At napakahusay nila kung gusto mo talagang marinig ang pagkakaiba.

But first let's focus on the sounds.

Ngunit tumuon muna tayo sa mga tunog.
