Finally,intheareaofpronunciationforallyoustudents,notjustthecontestantsheretoday,please,theword"the",th-:putyourtonguebetweenyourteeth.It'snot"da,"it's"the";it'snot"der."it's"their";it'snot"utter."it's"other."Youcandothis,youcandothis,Practiceonthewaytoclass,practiceintheshower,practicewhereverbutdon'tsay"da,"it's"the."
