Knowing how to pronounce monthly correctly is important for non-native English speakers. The correct pronunciation of monthly is muhn-thlee, with the emphasis on the syllable "muhn."
When saying "monthly," make sure to articulate the "th" sound correctly. To do this, place the tip of your tongue between your teeth and blow out air, making a distinct hissing sound.
When saying the "muhn" syllable, make sure to raise the middle of your tongue towards the roof of your mouth. This will create a distinct "n" sound.
The final syllable, "thlee," should be pronounced with a soft "l" sound. To do this, your tongue should be placed in the same position as the "th" sound, but instead of releasing air, you should make a soft humming sound.
To practice, try saying the word "monthly" several times in a row, focusing on the correct pronunciation of each syllable. When you feel comfortable, try using it in a sentence.
By following these steps, you will be able to properly pronounce the English word "monthly."
