Look up the videos by either Coach Shane or Rachel's English on youtube, I think both have explained this pronounciation and they are cool teachers.
I personally put my tongue touching my top teeth, and my lower lip right under my tongue, touching the toungue.

>>18531736
Do you have an underbite? I'm trying it out and it feels kind of hard

>>18531860
I do but that's not the point lmao. It's all about touching the upper teeth with your tongue. Then try to make air go between the teeth and tongue, even if they are touching. The rest of the mouth doesn't matter, only the top teeth and your tongue.

Try this:

I hope I didn't pick the wrong one

>>18531886
Yeah, I started watching that one; the way she uses her tongue is between the teeth though, which is what I do now which doesn't seem to work very well.

>>18531881
Oh alright. It works alright, although there's a lisp to it right now. Putting it behind the bottom row seems to work better for me, I think

>>18531894
I see, yeah I think some people have different methods. Also I'm not a native speaker, this is just the way I do it (with my tongue between my teeth, touching my upper teeth). My mother is an English teacher.

If I speak too fast, I end up saying deathstar as "deh-star"

middle "t" sounds are hard for me. I end up saying things like "satan" as "say-en"

Because of my parent's accents they struggle to pronounce th- sounds too. I think I just picked it up too.

If I slowly speak and make the exaggerated >>18531736 pic with my mouth, I can do it, but I have to apologize for the occasional saliva spray because it is so uncomfortable to do.

how the fuck are you supposed to pronounce oneitis?

>>18531965
one ajtis, I think

You know how you say fff? Put your tongue in place of your lower lip in that position and you should get a thhh. From there work with it until it sounds natural

>>18531965

>>18531965
hahaha """o-neh-AI-toos"""

Stop learning English from Guy Ritchie movies then. the -th into -f thing is pure Cockney.
Or alternatively, go for it full-on.

Tip of tounge against top row of teeth with mouth open like this

>>18533178
Don't forget the jizz on the chin.

>>18533204
Oh yeah shit forgot to wipe that off thanks dude

>>18531719
To complicate matters there are actually TWO th sounds in English, the hard ("this") and soft ("thing")

>>18531719
i made a thread about how i can't say the letter "R", did you see that and made this thread because of that?

>>18531719
You should also make a spelling thread, as you can't even spell "pronunciation" properly.

(I'll admit it's rather tempting to write it that way, though.)

I'm American and I do the same thing, I don't know if it's because I was raised in the south but I say Batman as 'Baa man' and 'dentist' as 'dennist'
