Pronunciation: "th" words

Words containing the spelling "-th" are not always pronounced in the same way. Let's take a look at some examples:

Arthur, Thomas, those

Although the three words above are spelt "th", they sound differently.

In "Arthur", the "th" sounds like our Spanish "z", or like the English word "thank".

In "Thomas", the "th" sounds like "t".

In "those", the "th" sounds like a dental "d"

Some other words for you to think about:

Thames (the river in London :) sounds like "t"
Netherlands sounds like dental "d"
think sounds like a Spanish "z"

I hope this has been useful. Feel free to leave your comments, questions or suggestion for further topics to discuss. Thank you ;)
