I never liked the TH sound, to be honest, so all should pronounce the TH sounds like a normal D or a half D or a T or a half T / airy T etc, because TH is the one sound that keeps English pronunciation from sounding really pretty to the ear, and it makes one’s mouth look funny, and even the words can sound funny, in a way! Three should be pronounced close to tree, not like that sound that is more similar to free! Then and breathe and that etc sound way better when pronounced den / breade / dat etc than they do when pronounced the way most pronounce them, which can sound close to zat / ven sometimes! Plus, there is a way to get a sound that is similar to the TH sound without making the funny face / mouth, which sounds a tad less airy or a bit fuller!

Hi Emma, Everything is so great about your videos and your presentation - very professional, and thorough. I would like to make a suggestion as a fellow teacher that might tie up the distinction between the two sounds and allow your students to target the difference between them. In your final practice period, in the text area of your screen, you could annotate which words are using the voiced or unvoiced "th" by placing that IPA character below the associated "th".

According to your name you might be a Spanish speaker. If that's the case, the TH in think is pronounced the way the people from Spain pronounce the c in number "cien" (not in sien). On the other hand, the voiced sound, the TH in "other" is similar to Spanish D betheen vowels, for example in "cada".

Very informative. 'Th' is the only sound I have trouble pronouncing, even though I've reached fluency more than 5 years ago. However I don't speak it that much because there's no one for me to speak to. But I have tried for so long to get the sound right, always trying the way my highschool teacher showed when it came to tongue position but I was actually just making the 't' sound because my tongue was up and behind my teeth. Now at least I know how to do it properly and even managed to get it right a few times so I'm extremely grateful to this short video.

I was born in America but I have pronunciation problems, I use an app called “speech jammer” or “microphone live” (first one is fav because it doesn’t play it right away so you can say it and then hear it instead of right away, although it may cause a headache due to echos) on iPhone. Put on headphones that have a mic, and it allows you to hear self to see how you sound. This is because you sound different than you think. Idk if this will help you, but I’ve tried it today and it is helping me with my confidence

Hi Emma! A great tutorial, as usual. Could you please make a video on pronouncing difficult combinations of sounds, like 'is the same', 'loathe such phrases'. A little suggestion is to leave a bit longer pauses to repeat ling sentences. Even though my English is advanced, I often can't finish on time. Thank you again for all your great videos!
