"TH" Pronunciation English Meeting ESL Lesson

Please don?t be shy or afraid be proud of your tongue. I really like this sentence, I don't know if it is correct at all, but I? tried to do my best hearing and pronouncing every single word you did.

I've noticed that sometimes we pronounce "TH" and "F" more like occlusives at the beginning of a word. This doesn't happen with other fricatives like "S" and "SH". If I say "Find it!", I can give the typical friction of "F" or I can also release the sound in one burst upon separating the bottom lip from the top teeth.? Same with "TH". If I say "Think about it!", I can give the typical friction of "TH" or I can also release the sound in one burst upon separating the tongue from the top teeth.

You alrigth with the pronunciation but the problem is when? you talk fast . I think is hardest tto do it.

Thank you Dave for help us to? improve our pronunciation

Thanks a lot? for your response, Mr. Sconda.

There are some rules for this but they are very complicated. The? easiest path may be to use a dictionary and look at the phonetics. You will eventually learn the words with the correct pronunciation.

Thank you very? much :D

I'm Italian and for my experience Italians tend to? pronounce the voiceless th like a sort of F and the voiced th like a sort of T. But mostly we don't know if the TH is voiced or voiceless!

Mr. Dave, the phonetic distinction you make is perfectly clear. Thanks for your great lesson. Can you please tell me how will the speaker know when to produce the voiceless? and voiced sounds? What clue or technique is there to make sure when to produce each sound? Thanks a lot for your response.
