Color-Coded Exercises "th" sounds /θ/ - /ð/ Newcastle Language Systems
This video exercise helps learners of English to produce the voiceless and voiced sounds of th, which we hear at the beginning of the words "thin" and "this". To benefit from this exercise, please watch the following videos FIRST:
1) English Pronunciation: Introduction to the Color-Coded System
2) English Pronunciation: Introduction to 'th' (/θ/ - /ð/) sounds
As Jack states in the introductory lesson, be sure to place ONLY the tip of your tongue between your teeth. Also be sure to do the exercises with your hand on your throat, making sure you vibrate the vocal cords for the voiced /ð/ sound of "this".
To acquire these difficult sounds, it is important to practice for a few minutes every day, as you need to retrain your tongue and muscles. However, if you still need some help after watching the videos, you can always schedule pronunciation lessons with us at newcastlels.com. Our method has helped many students add the sounds of English to their set of linguistic skills, and we're sure we can do the same for you. Classes may be one-on-one if you like, but we can also accommodate up to 3 students for the price of 1. Additionally, we have classes in Conversational English, Business English, Writing, and we can help you with that TOEFL, TOEIC, or IELTS you may need to pass!
