Teeth and teethe - the two 'th' sounds in English
from English Sound Building - British Pronunciation · host Tamsin
It's a new year! Let's smash some language learning goals and flex those pronunciation muscles! In this episode of English Sound Building, we look at the voiceless and voiced "th" sounds. These sounds are not found in many other languages (indeed, they are not found in all Englishes!), and although they are absolutely not essential to be understood, it's fun to try :-) In the first few minutes, I give some tips on making the sounds. If you're happy with that, feel free to skip straight to 4.30 ready for the workout to begin. We look at some common words containing both sounds, as well as some fun and challenging sentences with a lot of each sound both individually and combined. Practise as often as you can to build muscle memory, and make sure you subscribe so you don't miss the next one.The Podcast script is now available free on my Patreon, as is a free video bonus for this episode.
