In this brief instructional clip, speech coach Hadar Shemesh demonstrates a pronunciation technique for linking a /t/ sound directly before a /θ/ (TH) sound. She explains that the speaker should place the tongue on the teeth when producing the /t/, which naturally anticipates the following /θ/. This placement creates a smoother, more connected articulation, as illustrated with examples like “that they,” “that they've,” and “done that.” The purpose is to improve clarity and fluidity in spoken English by teaching the listener how to coordinate tongue movement for these adjacent consonants.
