put your tongue against your top front teeth and produce sound

>>35197459

Do you have lithp? Are you a homogay?

>>35197499

Against the top ones?

So far as I know, you're supposed to put it between the top ones and the bottom ones.

>>35197528
that's why you can't make the sound

>>35197528
Oh yeah I guess you are, it's hard to explain something you're so used to doing you don't even realize how you do it

>>35197459
There are 2 "th" sounds in modern English, one is voiced like in "the" or "thing" and the other unvoiced like the end of "with" or "path"
If you can't pronounce either of these consonants, you need actual speech therapy.

I can make the sound just fine.

The sound is called a dental fricative, and it's produced by putting your tongue between your upper and lower incisors.

Or you could just learn by reading.

The "th" in "father" is the voiced dental fricative. The one in "think" is a voiceless dental fricative.

For the "father" sound, you put your tongue between both sets of incisors and then vibrate your vocal cords.

For the "think" sound, you put you tongue between both sets of incisors and just blow gently.

at least You made me feel better when I'm struggling with English, and I'm not Native English speaker

>>35197789

It's a voiceless dental fricative.

>>35197812

>have to replace 'S' with V so no one notices my lisp.

I think they know

>>35197866

No, no.

To do the "th" in "bluetooth", you have to put the tip of your tongue between both sets of incisors (upper and lower), and then gently blow.
