Hi there. It's hadar. And this is the accent's way, your way to finding clarity, confidence and freedom in English. Today we're going to talk about the word months. Months. To say this word, we begin with the m sound and then the as in cup vowel sound. Mun. Months. Now it sounds like a stress. You relax your jaw just a bit. The lips are relaxed and the tongue is centralized. Months. It's not months, alright? There is no sound there, although it's spelled with an o. It's months. Then we have n, Ths, nths. Now, since it's a difficult transition N to th and then bring it into an s, you can drop the th and then just say months. Months, alright? Do you hear it? It's not months necessarily. It's definitely not months or monthses. All right? You do not insert a vowel there between the th and the s. Alright? Even if it's difficult for you to pronounce the th, you can just drop the th instead of adding a vowel between the th and the s. Alright? So months or months. Totally fine. A lot easier. And most American speakers say it that way anyway, right? Months. Three months ago. I saw her three months ago. Months. All right, that's it. Thank you for watching.
