“TH” Pronunciation
There are two ways to pronounce the “TH”.
The first way is voiceless (or unvoiced, /θ/).
This means that the vocal cords are not used.

Voiceless /θ/ “TH”
In order to pronounce the voiceless “TH” sound,
put your tongue between your teeth.
Your tongue can rest on your bottom lip,
if that’s more comfortable for you.

Voiceless /θ/ “TH”
Blow air softly to make the “TH” sound.
Most of the air will flow over the top of your tongue.

To pronounce the voiced “TH”, use
the same position as the voiceless

vibrate your vocal cords.

“V ” Pronunciation
Standard Chinese does not have a “V” sound.
However, it is very similar to the “F” sound.
So you can master it with a little bit of
practice.
13
“V ” Pronunciation
The “V” sound is voiced.
The “F” sound is voiceless.
To make the “V” sound, put your upper teeth
onto your lower lip.
This is the same position as the “F”.
14
“V ” Pronunciation
Now, instead of blowing
air, vibrate your vocal
cords to make the “V”
sound.

Thank you, very much!
Never mind.
That’s some sound advice.
