Hey everyone, hope you are doing alright! I'm having trouble with saying words ended with "ths", such as mouths, months and paths. I've recorded myself saying these words. If you find any error, please remind me. I’ll appreciate it. There are a lot of Ss going on 😂

You sound fine, Viola! Just note that in real life, native speakers usually drop the “n” in words that end in /nθs/. Unfortunately, this is hard to find in a dictionary, since no English word ends in /nθs/ except in suffix form. In fact, “month” is the only word in English that has even /nθ/ (without the /s/) in morpheme-final position. The other words ending in /nθ/ consist of two morphemes each (the /θ/ is just a suffix): seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh. At least in America, when educated native speakers pronounce these words in the plural, we usually drop the /θ/ unconsciously.

Well done. Good pronunciation. You took your time and said then slowly and carefully, and you got them correct. I will record them too for you.....
