The voiceless &#8220;th&#8221; sound is made without using vocal cords. This sound is common in most words that begin with &#8220;th.&#8221; &#8220;Think,&#8221; &#8220;third,&#8221; and &#8220;thank&#8221; all start with the voiceless &#8220;th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the voiced &#8220;th,&#8221; English speakers use their vocal cords while they make the &#8220;th&#8221; sound. This is heard in nearly all <em>structure words<\/em> in English that begin with &#8220;th.&#8221; By &#8220;structure words,&#8221; I mean words whose purpose is mostly grammatical. Structure words that begin with the voiced &#8220;th&#8221; sound include &#8220;the,&#8221; &#8220;those,&#8221; &#8220;that,&#8221; &#8220;this,&#8221; &#8220;than,&#8221; and others.<\/p>\n<p>Before we do some tongue twisters for pronouncing these two variations of &#8220;th,&#8221; let&#8217;s make sure you can hear the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to me say the word &#8220;thistle,&#8221; which has a voiceless &#8220;th&#8221; at the beginning:<\/p>\n<p><strong>THISTLE:<\/strong><br \/>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3291-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THISTLE.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THISTLE.mp3\">https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THISTLE.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n<p>Now listen to my audio of &#8220;this,&#8221; a grammatical word that starts with voiced &#8220;th:&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THIS:<\/strong><br \/>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3291-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THIS.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THIS.mp3\">https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THIS.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n<p>Can you hear the difference between the &#8220;th&#8221; sounds at the beginnings of these two similar words? If not, then listen again. This time, I&#8217;ll go more slowly when I say the beginning &#8220;th&#8221; sound in the words:<\/p>\n<p><strong>THISTLE, THIS:<\/strong><br \/>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3291-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THISTLE-THIS.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THISTLE-THIS.mp3\">https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2016\/05\/THISTLE-THIS.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n<p>By now, you probably can hear the difference. But just in case, let&#8217;s listen to these two words one more time.
