The TH sound

1. Have a look at this video to understand the different pronunciations ....and don't be afraid (or ashamed!) to practice at home!

2. Listen and repeat!

Voiced "Th" : Listen to this document and repeat!

Voiceless "Th": Listen and repeat!

3. Some phrases to practice: (taken from Site académique de Toulouse):

Unvoiced (voiceless) /θ/ 

 Both things are synthetic

I will eat anything healthy with my teeth

Kathy thanked both Theo and Thelma for everything

Thank you for driving back and forth this month

I think Beth is traveling north on the path

Kathy lives on the corner of North avenue and Third

Theo lives on Third Avenue, near Hathaway Theater,

I think that Kathy has a math class at three.

Voiced th /ð/ 

 This is smooth

The father is there

Bathe them

That mother can’t breathe

I rather like this weather

4. And now you're ready for the  CH SH TH WH song!
