#126 Why Can't I Pronounce 'TH'?

Michael Lavers
About this episode

I had a message about ordinal numbers and, specifically, the pronunciation of the TH sound in them like in "fourth". It's a great question! In this episode, I go over what ordinal numbers are and give my thoughts on pronouncing them.

Be sure to check out next week's episode (the link will be here) with Pronunciation With Emma. She's great at answering these kinds of questions!

Here are my group lessons that I spoke about: http://www.ewmichael.com/group
