I also blow air above and below my tongue (aka. between my tongue and my teeth). Besides getting your tongue/teeth/mouth arranged you also have to worry about not spitting on people, not sounding like a snake etc.Troy Martin wrote:Hmm, I think the best way to describe the th sound is to put the tip of your tongue in between your upper and bottom teeth and blow air out the gaps beside your tongue.
...or you could just describe it as a "dental fricative" and curse whoever read that with a few hours of internet searching.Troy Martin wrote:Hmm, I think the best way to describe the th sound is to put the tip of your tongue in between your upper and bottom teeth and blow air out the gaps beside your tongue.

My first day in the secondary school
Ring ring, said the alarm clock. It was the third of September 2008, seven o’clock. „Shut up!“ I said to the annoying noise and got up. „Just an another ordinary day“ I said. I ate breakfast, cleaned myself and dressed up. I even managed to get on the net for a while. I went to school at eight twenty and realized that it will be no ordinary day. The first difference was the distance... It’s no longer right in front of my flat like it was on the nine-grade. After I got there, we went to a gym hall, where the school director introduced our new teachers. Sadly, I didn’t had there any foreign classmates from the elementary school. Then, we were divided to three classes and then, our class teacher showed us the school and told us the rules. I’ve maked some friends that day too, and we talked between each other. We then heard about which teacher to which subject we were assigned and we joked about them a little. At approx. eleven o’clock we walked home, realizing that now we are on a much higher level than the elementary school was.That would probably be "realized that it would be no ordinary day".realized that it will be no ordinary day
"Sadly, I didn't have any foreign classmates from my elementary school" is what I think you meant. Had would be in the past, and "the elementary school" could be any school.Sadly, I didn’t had there any foreign classmates from the elementary school.
"Then we were divided to three classes and our class teacher..."Then, we were divided to three classes and then, our class teacher...
"I made some friends that day too..." Maked is one of those mistakes that even native english speakers makeI’ve maked some friends that day too...
Hmm, in fact it's "Wo ist das Badezimmer?" So your both solutions combined would be correctinflater wrote:I suppose you meant Wo ist der Badezimmer... you said "who is the bathroom" in translation.
