Teaching the English /θ/ (as in "think") and /ð/ (as in "this") sounds can be a significant challenge for non-native speakers. These sounds do not exist in Hebrew, which often leads to substitutions like /s/ or /z/ (e.g., saying "sink" instead of "think") or /t/ or /d/ (e.g., "dis" instead of "this"). Mastering these sounds is crucial not only for accurate pronunciation but also for comprehension, as these subtle differences can change the meaning of words entirely.
This blog post will explore effective strategies for teaching these sounds, making the learning process more approachable and successful.
