I just finished putting together something for you! 🪞It’s called The Daily TH Mirror Guide: a 2-minute morning routine that fixes one of the most common pronunciation problems in English. The TH sound. 👅 Most learners either: • Say S instead → “sink” instead of “think” ❌ • Say T instead → “tank” instead of “thank” ❌ • Say D instead → “dis” instead of “this” ❌ This guide shows you exactly where to place your tongue, how to test your airflow and how to drill the difference in 2 minutes every morning. Tape it to your bathroom mirror. Practice every day. Let me know what you think and…how it goes tomorrow morning! 😁 📥 Download it here: https://thsoundwithsal.my.canva.site/ And if you want to go deeper — the full Consonant Arena is waiting for you inside the Lab. Every sound explained, drilled and trained.
