Identification of Errors

Error #1. Error in the pronunciation of the sound "th"

Why this error occurs?

In the English language the combination of the letters "th" has two sounds (/รฐ/ and /ฮธ/). These sounds are produced by expelling air, having the tongue between the upper and lower teeth. But, since these sounds don't exist in Spanish, we tend to pronounce them as a "d" or "z". The error occurs when we cannot distinguish which of the two sounds is correct in each word because we have /รฐ/ and /ฮธ/.

Exercise # 1: Listen to an audio

Listen to the audio of the following paragraph and identify what type of sound is produced when pronouncing the words that have the combination of the letters "th". Mark with an "X" the corresponding box and pronounce the word with the correct sound.

[Audio Transcription:] 

These clothes are very nice, I bought them last month, although my mother prefers those without feathers. so I'll use that one to go to the party on Thursday.
