  • hi everyone jennifer from tarle speech with your pronunciation question

  • the question today is how do i pronounce the word

  • earth or our planet so let's go ahead and look at this word

  • i think the confusion comes in here because of the spelling we're not going

  • to say ear-th we are going to say earth

  • earth earth and to do this we are going to start with that er sound to do this

  • square tense lips tip of your tongue is either pointed down or flipped back

  • it is just not touching the teeth and it is not moving

  • er if you have trouble with this sound i recommend that you try to make this

  • sound a little bit longer and a little bit

  • stronger that tip tends to help most of my students

  • err then you are going to stick your tongue out of your mouth yes

  • the tip of your tongue is going to come out of your mouth it is going to be

  • between the top and the bottom teeth but it is

  • not touching the teeth if you touch the teeth that will stop the

  • air and then it will sound like a t and we want that air to keep moving for

  • the th th th

  • if you struggle with this i suggest try to make a little cup with your tongue

  • and that will allow air to move right over the top

  • of the tongue so let's put it all together

  • earth

  • er th
