/θ/

The /θ/ sound in English is a voiceless dental fricative, which means it’s a sound made by creating friction between the tongue and the back of the upper teeth, without vocal cord vibration. Here’s how you pronounce it:

• Position your tongue and teeth: For the /θ/ sound, the tip of your tongue should be touching the back of your upper teeth.
• Voicing: The /θ/ sound is a voiceless consonant, meaning your vocal cords do not vibrate when you produce this sound. You should not feel a vibration if you lightly touch the front of your throat while saying the sound.
• Release the sound: Start by creating a narrow gap between your tongue and upper teeth. Then, push air through the small space. The continuous airflow passing through this small space creates the /θ/ sound.
