The Voiced and Unvoiced “TH”

--~--
There are two “th” sounds in English: an “unvoiced” th and a “voiced” one. The voiceless “th” sound is made without using vocal cords. This sound is common in most words that begin with “th.” “Think,” “third,” and “thank” all start with the voiceless “th.”

In the voiced “th,” English speakers use their vocal cords while they make the “th” sound. This is heard in nearly all structure words in English that begin with “th.” By “structure words,” I mean words whose purpose is mostly grammatical. Structure words that begin with the voiced “th” sound include “the,” “those,” “that,” “this,” “than,” and others.

Before we do some tongue twisters for pronouncing these two variations of “th,” let’s make sure you can hear the difference.
