One of the most commonly mispronounced
sounds in American English is the “th” sound.
This is likely do to the fact that the “th”
phonemes are rare sounds, not found in most
European and Asian languages. When we do not
have a sound in our own language, the natural
tendency to substitute a similar sound, such as
“z,” “d” or “t.” Unfortunately, this has a big
impact on accent, because the “th” sound is
found in 20% of the 25 words we say the most
in English. The most commonly used word,
“the,” begins with this sound. So, when
we mispronounce “th,” it is very noticeable in
everyday speech.
