This is a YouTube video titled "The TH Sound Tongue Twister" created on February 6, 2022, featuring a practice session with Hadar Shemesh and another speaker. They are practicing pronunciation techniques using a tongue twister to improve the 'th' and 'r' sounds in English.
Hey, it's practice time with Hadar, and today we're going to practice the tongue twister.
They threw three thick things. They threw three think things.
A great opportunity to practice the thr transition. To pronounce the th, you stick the tongue out and release air.
And then for the R, you pull.
The tongue in, round your lips a little bit, hold it out, make sure the tongue doesn't touch anything. Just the sides of the tongue can touch the sides of the teeth, but that's it.
3.
A lot of times we touch the upper palate on the way in. Three. Not a big deal. Actually, a lot of speakers of English, native speakers may pronounce it with that flap. But if that drives you crazy or you just want to practice with us.
Then let's do it.
Pull the tongue in and hold out the R. Th3. Okay, back to the tongue twister.
They threw tense oo after the threw.
Imagine like you're adding a w at the end.
They threw three high E.3. If the R is hard, hold it out. Thick things. They threw three thick things. They threw three thick things. Do it slowly. They threw three thick things.
They long.
Threw. Long. Three long thick things.
Short. Short.
They threw three thick things. Can you see how it affects the rhythm? They threw three thick things. They threw three thick things. They took three thick things.
So I threw them back. That's it.
Okay, that's it. I hope you enjoyed it and have.
A beautiful, beautiful rest of the day. I'll see you next time. Bye.
