Ordinal numbers in English have plenty of consonant clusters and “th” endings. For example, the ordinal number “third” begins with an unvoiced “th” sound for which the tip of the tongue must come through the teeth. Then, for the “ur” vowel and “r” consonant sounds, it’s important to avoid letting your jaw drop. Finish the “third” ordinal number with a light “d.”

When you watch this video, you’ll get plenty of helpful tips for pronouncing the ordinal numbers “first” through “tenth.” You’ll learn an easy way of simplifying the word “fifth” and you’ll hear some tips for practicing ordinal numbers for everyday conversation.
