This is the third episode in our pronunciation series. In the first episode, we practiced R and L. In the second one, we worked on the TH sound. And today, we'll practice the difference between V and B.

These sounds can be very tricky, because in some languages there isn't much difference between them. But in English, they are very different.

So today, we'll warm up with some minimal pairs, then practice with simple sentences, and finally we'll do a mini-story.

Today, we'll practice one of the trickiest sounds in English: the TH sound.

Actually, English has two TH sounds:

• The voiceless /θ/, like in think, thank, thirty.
• The voiced /ð/, like in this, that, brother.

Many students replace them with t, d, s, or z. For example:

• They say tank you instead of thank you.
• Or zis instead of this.
