How To Say EARTH In American English

MichaelADAmerican English Pronunciation

🤔 EARTH

Are you saying this word wrong?

A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix.

We say: ərTH.

It’s not: are-th.

It’s ərTH.

There is just one syllable: ərTH.

Start with ər. Your tongue goes up for the R sound.

Then put your tongue gently between your teeth for the TH sound, like this:

ər… TH.  Altogether: ərTH.

  • ərTH.
  • We live on ərTH.
  • ərTH is the third planet
  • ərTH is 70% water

Let’s practice together. I’ll say blue. You say green.

  • ərTH.
  • We live on ərTH.
  • ərTH is the third planet
  • ərTH is 70% water

One more time: ərTH.

Write your example with earth in the comments.

Thanks for watching, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
