#360 English Pronunciation Practice: The...

Georgiana, founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com
About this episode

Today, we'll practice one of the trickiest sounds in English: the TH sound.

Actually, English has two TH sounds:

  • The voiceless /θ/, like in think, thank, thirty.
  • The voiced /ð/, like in this, that, brother.

Many students replace them with t, d, s, or z. For example:

  • They say tank you instead of thank you.
  • Or zis instead of this.
