Super Quick English Lesson number three.
-
Ok, here we go. We're looking at this sound. How do you say that? Ok, here's how I'm going
-
to do it. Ok, again? Ok, I know it sounds strange, it looks strange but it's really
-
useful.
-
Ok, now before I start, let's remember that this is British English pronunciation ok?
-
There are other variations but I'm looking at British English today. Ok, so let's think
-
about a word that has this sound. This. This. Now, commonly it's mispronounced with a /d/
-
so /dis/ now in British English this is not correct, Ok? So we want that sound This. Ok,
-
so how do we make that sound? Alright, we have to look at the mouth, what is the mouth
-
doing? Well the important thing is the tongue. What is the tongue doing? Ok. Alright, it's
-
touching my top teeth. And as it's touching that I pull it in and I'm pushing air out.
-
So as the tongue comes in the air goes out so this. You can feel it on your hand. If
-
you say it, you can feel air on your hand. Ok, so let's do it one more time. This/ Let's
-
see have I got a vibration here?Yep, there's a vibration here. So if you put your hand
-
here, you should feel it kind of vibrating. Ok, let's think of another word. So this,
-
these. Alright so I've got that feeling again. Those. It's also found in, not just at the
-
beginning of a word but in the middle of a word. So, Mother. Father. Brother. As it goes
-
on. Ok, so remember, try and bring your tongue in, push the air out and you feel a vibration
-
just there. Alright guys, practiise, practise, practise it's the only way to improve.
-
Ok, let's practise. Say this with me. This. That. These. Those.
-
Ok and it gets a bit crazy. Alright guys practise, practise, practise. Ok? It's the only way
-
to improve. Alright, thanks for hanging out with me Eat Sleep Dreamers. See you soon!
