The Trap: Many learners substitute "th" with "s", "z", "t", or "d".

How Native Speakers Say It: Place the flat blade of your tongue lightly between your upper and lower incisors. Blow air gently without vocal chord vibration to produce the unvoiced ⁄θ⁄ sound.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

When "than" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "than is" sounds like "than-iz").

⏱️ Stress-Timed Rhythm

In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "than" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
