How to prouncounce "th" in a sentence?
hey.
so my problem is not with pronouncing the "th" sounds, but with pronouncing it when it's in the middle of a sentence.
i find it easy to pronounce any word that starts with a "th" or ends with a "th", but when it comes to words like: anything and everything, its just too difficult for my tongue to go fast enough between my teeth...
im not having that problem with pronouncing it at the beginning of the stentence or at the end,
only when it's placed in the middle (of the sentence), and then i need to make alot of effort to make that sound...
would it be horrible if just pronounce the "th" sounds in those words (everything and anything) like an f?
i know worry too much, but i like to speak properly...
thank you in advance!

I don't think that an f sound would be appropriate. My advice is: try to speak slower and in time you will learn how to pronounce it properly

Hey to you too, Tevel3.
If you can pronounce TH in the word "thing" when "thing" is a single word, then you are already very close to winning the TH-battle. [Y]
I would suggest launching your final attack by practicing two single words:
- every
- thing
Say each word as a single word, first "every" and then "thing", and repeat that again and again. Start with a v
