Lessons Unit 1, lesson 36

ð as in this

One consonant, on its own page. Hear it, watch where it sits in each word's sheet, then say the words yourself.

ðthe th in this

Same position — tongue tip between the teeth — but now switch your voice on so it buzzes: this. If it sounds like d or z, slow down and feel your teeth on the tongue.

ð th ɪ i s s
this
ð th æ a t t
that
ð th ə e
the
ð th ɛ e m m
them

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

ˈm m ʌ o ð th ɚ er
mother
ˈf f ɑː a ð th ɚ er
father
ð th ey
they
ˈð th ɛ e ɹ r e
there
ˈð th ɛ e n n
then
ˈb b ɹ r ʌ o ð th ɚ er
brother
