Please pronunce "months" and "month" for me

[Justin_Huang]

Hi,
It is very hard for me to pronounce the ending sound of "months" and "mouths".
I hope someone can record your voice for the words: month, months, mouth, mouths.
Thank you in advance.

Justin

Hello Megan and Alan,
Thank you for the prompt responses. The plurals seem to have longer 's' sound, but it is not distinct.
I'll repeat listening and practicing.
Thank you!

Justin

Hi Justin,

You are right. The 's' does get a bit lost simply because of the preceding 'th'. Try these for practice:

seethes (verb seethe)

moths (singular noun moth)

breathes (verb breathe)
