"TH" sound

Some of the sounds in English pronounciation can be really troublesome for us - non-natives. 

I dare say that "TH" sound may be the most difficult one for us Poles to master. We very often confuse it with "d", "t", sometimes "s" , "z" or "f" sound. However, with a little bit of training we can all learn it and sound perfectly natural, trust me.

Have you known that there actually two "th" sounds:

Voiceless (when the vocal cords don't vibrate), often mixed up with "t", "s" or "f"

Examples:

think

thin

thank

three

thick

north

path

and Voiced (when the vocal cords vibrate), often mixed up with "d" or "z".

Examples:

there

this

than

clothes

breathe

mother

leather

Practice makes perfect, so watch the video, stick your tongue out and HAVE FUN !!! 

Now, are you ready for some tongue twisters? Here you are:

·     Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew.

While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew.

Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze.

Freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze.

That's what made these three free fleas sneeze.

 Then this mother soothed and bathed the other although the other didn’t want to be together.
