When you're learning how to pronounce "breathe" correctly, it's important to focus on the sounds of the vowels. The word is made up of two syllables, "breath" and "e".
The first syllable, "breath," starts with a soft "b" sound, like the "b" in "bed." The "r" is a short, trilled sound, like the "r" in Spanish. The "ea" is a long sound, like the "ay" in "say," with the tongue in the middle of the mouth. The "th" is a soft, unvoiced sound, like the "th" in "the."
The second syllable, "e," starts with a long "e" sound, like the "e" in "me." The final sound is a soft, unvoiced "th," like the "th" in "the."
To practice pronouncing the word, try saying it slowly, emphasizing each syllable. It's also helpful to emphasize the "th" sounds, as they are often difficult for non-native speakers.
When you have the pronunciation down, practice saying the word in a normal speaking rate. With practice, you'll be able to pronounce "breathe" correctly!
