is what is the difference between TR in tree and Trust and the th R in three or

thrust this is kind of a difficult um task today but I know we can get through it

so what I'm gonna do first is I'm gonna have you rely on visuals and looking at

me first and listening then I'm going to show you the words so for the TR

combination I'm going to touch the tip of my tongue to the back of my top front

teeth for the T sound and then quickly move to the R sound people do one of two

things they either roll the tip of their tongue

back for the R or point the tip of their tongue down to the bottom of their mouth

and pull the back of their tongue up for the R doesn't matter which one you do

just make sure you move quickly from the T behind your teeth tree or tree

whichever one you do your tongue stays in your mouth now we're going to look at

the th R in three so to do this it's that dreaded th sound stick your tongue

out of your mouth yes out of your mouth do not touch your teeth with your tongue

keep it out there and then blow out and let that air keep moving out of your

mouth th th three you're going to have to then go from all the way out of your mouth

and pull your tongue back in again either then point it down for the R or

roll it back whichever one that you do so for tree going to keep your tongue in

your mouth and the air is just going to puff out for the T and for the th r

your tongue is going to come out of your mouth and that air is going to keep

moving so let's look at the difference tree tree Tree three

three three here are the words tree three trust Trust trust thrust thrust

thrust if this is difficult for you and you don't want to say the word free

which is f ree instead of three the number try adding a short uh sound in

there and then make that sound smaller and smaller until it goes away so it

sounds something like this three three three so I added a very

short little uh sound right between the th and the R it's really helpful for some

people especially people on the phone when people might get confused if you're

saying free instead of three so one more time before we go tree three trust

thrust give it a try I know people are going to notice a difference please give
