Lessons Unit 1, lesson 35

θ as in thin

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

θthe th in thin

Put the tip of your tongue gently between your teeth and blow air: th. No voice, just air. If it sounds like s or t, check that your tongue really touches your teeth.

ˈθ th ɪ i n n
thin
ˈθ th ɪ i ŋ n k k
think
ˈb b æ a θ th
bath
ˈθ th ʌ u m m b
thumb

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 æ a θ th
math
ˈθ th ɹ r ee
three
ˈm m ou θ th

ˈt t oo θ th

ˈt t ee θ th
teeth
ˈb b ɑː o θ th ?
