The /th/ Sound

This lesson will help you master the American English /th/ sound. Did you know that you can make changes in your speech by practicing only five minutes a day?  That's right!  Spend time in practice and awareness of speech for five minutes a day, and your speech will change, too.  Give yourself several weeks to master the sound.  You may need to consciously do some "touch-ups" after you have learned the sound, but it won't take long to say it right again.
