hello eveyone, I hope you're doing well,
I found in a book that TH is pronounced V, for example THE is said VE, I also hear some english people pronouncing it like that, is that correct? Or I just misunderstand.
REGARDS.

Hi Cate,

I assume you mean when 'th' is in the middle of a word like 'mother' or at the end of a word like 'with'? If you sound the 'th' like that, you aren't speaking English in what is called received pronunciation.
