Can someone confirm this?

    So I watched a video yesterday and it does not go out of my head since I watched it.


    In the video a woman walked around Berlin to try different bubble tea shops and one store had an English name and she gave cause of the name a small hint on how to pronounce it. She said if the word behind "the" begins with an A you pronounce the word "the" softer than with other words.


    Is this true? I am not quit sure about this and the source for this is a Polish woman living in Germany who is not fluently in English so...


    English-experts can you confirm this?

    A.C.E | ATEEZ | DRIPPIN| MCND | NU'EST | ONF | SF9 | Stray Kids | TFN

    I'm not an expert but I know this rule only:

    In front of words that start with a vowel-sound (like apple, eye, evening, afternoon, example), the article "the" is pronounced as /ði/

    and

    In front of words that start with a consonant-sound (like car, boy, woman, man, ball), the article "the" is pronounced
    as /ðə/
