Problems with /th/

[Turtle]

Hello!
So, I have a problem with this sound. The matter is that I know to pronounce it well, but when I'm talking I simply forgot to say th and I say t. How to influence on my brain :) to say th? Because when I was little and while I was learning English my teacher was bad and he was saying t. And now I'm used to it and I don't know how to stop saying it.

Thanks ;)

I know that many hearing non english-speaking people have difficulties with that sound. Hard of hearing people have difficulties with the voiceless S sound instead. Maybe hearing non english-speaking people are afraid of showing their tounge when they speak. :-) Many hard of hearing people finds that sound very easy to say.

Hi Turtle,

Try repeating this again and again:

The thief thought that the thing threaded through the thicket.

When you make this sound (th) press the tip of your tongue against the back of your top teeth.
