Ordinal Numbers - A Reading









I suppose my life will be very different from now at forty. People in their forties have a lot more responsibility. I do not remember what I was like in my twentieth year of life, do you? I can't really imagine what I will be like in my thirtieth year, much less my 90th, can you?

After you listen to the dialogue. Play it a second time and read along with the speaker. And then go back to practice "-th" at: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/english/frameset.html
Again click on these symbols (under "fricative) and see if you can match the video these symbols: ð and θ
*If you have a small hand mirror use it while practicing.
