How to Pronounce “Breathe”
To properly pronounce the word “breathe,” follow these steps:
- Position your tongue: Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth, just behind your front teeth.
- Airflow: Inhale sharply through your nose, filling your lungs with air.
- Release: Exhale gently through your mouth, allowing the air to escape slowly.
- Sound: As you exhale, produce a soft, prolonged sound like “bree-thh” or “bree-thuh,” with the “th” sound being similar to the “th” in the word “thumb.”
Remember, the “ea” in “breathe” is pronounced as a long “e” sound, like the “ee” in the word “see.” Practice this pronunciation until you feel comfortable with it.
By correctly pronouncing “breathe,” you will effectively communicate this word and express the action of inhaling and exhaling.
