How to Pronounce 'SIXTH' - English Pronunciation.

In the video, you'll learn the correct pronunciation of the word 'SIXTH' in English.

To pronounce "sixth" in American English, follow these steps:

1. Begin with the 's' sound: Start by making the /s/ sound, like the beginning of the word "see." Place the tip of your tongue close to the roof of your mouth just behind your teeth without touching them, and push air through.

2. Move to the short 'i' sound: Next, transition to the /ɪ/ sound, as in "sit." Keep your mouth slightly open, with your tongue in a neutral position in the middle of your mouth.

3. Add the 'k' sound: Follow this with the /k/ sound, like the beginning of "kite." This sound is made by the back of your tongue touching the soft part of the roof of your mouth, then quickly releasing.

4. Blend in the 's' sound again: Insert another /s/ sound, similar to the first step.

5. End with the 'th' sound: Finally, produce the voiced "th" sound /θ/, as in "think." Place the tip of your tongue between your upper and lower teeth, and gently push air out.

Putting it all together, "sixth" is pronounced as /sɪksθ/. Here's a step-by-step phonetic breakdown:

/s/ as in "see"

/ɪ/ as in "sit"

/k/ as in "kite"

/s/ as in "see"

/θ/ as in "think"

Practice slowly at first, then gradually speed up until you can say "sixth" smoothly.
