Certains mots sont particulièrement difficiles à prononcer en anglais à cause de trois raisons: 1. La phonétique : les sons qui n’existent pas en français comme ‘th’; le ‘r’ anglais, par exemple. 2. L’articulation. Ne pas savoir où placer l’accent tonique; ou quelles sont des syllabes ‘avalées’ 3. Les lettres muettes, comme ‘gh’ dans ‘bought’, [...]

The best advice I’ve heard for pronouncing the ‘th’ sound in English is to start by saying ‘s’ and then slowly moving your tongue towards your teeth. When your tongue touches your teeth, you should have a good ‘th’ sound. The video of Harry Potter saying, ‘a month?’ is the shortest video from youtube I’ve [...]
