  • Let's start with the shape of the mouth.

  • For both sounds, we put our tongue between our teeth and push air out between them.

  • The difference is, that the first one is voiced, which means we use our vocal cords.

  • And the second one is unvoiced, which means we don't use our vocal cords.

  • Okay, try this:

  • Voiced - vibrations.

  • Unvoiced - no vibrations.

  • Can you feel the difference?

  • Now let's practice with some common words you already know:

  • 'This', 'thing', 'though', 'through', 'mother', 'birthday', 'clothes', 'fourth', 'bathe', 'bath'.

  • And of course, it helps to put them in a sentence.

  • 'I never sunbathe, but I love a bath.'

  • But remember to say them out loud so you're practicing the pronunciation.

Let's start with the shape of the mouth.
