你们都有购买 cd 喔，我好像从来都没有花钱在这上面，除了以前买的电脑词典和中学用的大字典。可见你们真的很注重英文。我一直以来都不太管发音，重点都放在词汇和文法。后来是中国室友借我他的金山词霸，才把它载入里头。现在都是在网上听免费的。以前不会花钱买，现在更不会了。

以我的看法, 要学好英文, 应该要从英英词典学习, 多注意Native Speakers怎样运用英文字. 尽量不要用中文的结构来表达.

E.g. "你先说", 不是"You First", 但是, 是"after you".

  

很同意你的看法，，可是结果我现在的英文很中式，，中文很英式。。我都快沮丧死了

Oceaner, 如果你要买词典的话, 介绍你 LongMan Co-Temporary English Dictionary, 买附有CD的.

再来一个问题, 什么样的情况用"will",  及 "..going to" ?

Here's the reply. It seems like I have to study English harder.


Fadzilah Amin answers your question(s):


NO !!!  You can do better than that!  Some Malaysians pronounce "th" as in "think", "thanks", etc with a "t", but they pronounce "th" as in "the" and "this" with a "d". So we hear "tink", "tanks", "de" and "dis"!

"Th" is actually pronounced in two ways in English. and it is not that hard to pronounce the two sounds of "th".

Let me suggest a way. Stand before a mirror and watch your mouth as you pronounce certain sounds. When you pronounce "t", the front part your tongue is behind you front teeth. In order to pronounce "th" as in "think" and "thanks", place the front part of your tongue against the lower edge of your upper lip and try to say "t".  A "th" sound will result.

When you pronounce "d", your tongue is in the same position as when you pronounce "t", but if you place a hand on the front of your neck, you'll feel a movement in your voice box that is not there when you pronounce "t". In order to pronounce "th" as in "the" and "this", say "d" but place the front of your tongue against the lower edge of your upper lip. You'll be able to feel movement in your voice box as well when you pronounce "th" in this way.

If you still can't pronounce the sounds, get a Muslim friend and ask him how to pronounce "tha", the 4th letter of the Arabic alphabet.  That would be "th" as in "think" and "thanks". Then ask him how to pronounce "zhal", the 9th letter of the Arabic alphabet. That is how "th" as in "the" and "this" are pronounced.

I'd like to hear what progress you make after you carry out my suggestions.
