The 'TH' Sound
Ok boys and girls, today's lesson will be pronunciation. Now, who can say the word three? No it’s not pronounced tree. C’mon people, it’s a simple thing to do – just put your tongue between your teeth and blow. There shouldn’t be an excuse as to why most Guyanese people do not pronounce the ‘th’ sound. Yes, I give you that we speak Guyanese creole, but do we have to make even the simplest of standard English language statements sound so raw and uncultured? We should all be more conscious of how we speak and the way we do it. What in the world is a ‘towsand’? Like the tootsie pop phrase – 'the world may never know'.
