Thread Name: BS: Pronunciation of ph, th, sh words
Subject: RE: BS: Pronunciation of ph, th, sh words
I don't hear a difference between the "th" in "then" and the "th" in "weather".

Dave - if you say then slowly, you'll notice you're actually saying dthen (notice that your tongue starts behind your top front teeth).

It's different from thin where the tongue starts between the front teeth.

However you don't pronounce it weadther (or I presume you don't!).

Maybe it's me 8-)
