    That is the craziest nonsense I've ever heard! Where are these friends from? We definitely pronounce the TH in America. That would be the proper, most accepted accent, anyway. Sure there are probably pockets in different regions that have unclear pronunciation, but you are 100% CORRECT, we DO say the TH properly. I have no idea why I didn't see this message sooner! Sorry about that! Tell your friends to come talk to me – or sign up for my course! LOL!

    Thank you so much Heather! It's not a problem that you saw  it sooner or later.. 😀 You've answered! You're awesome. Hearing it from a Clear Speech and Language Specialist is the real relief and backup. When they, some of my friends, suddenly pop out and say "Why are you speakin' in British Accent by putting your tongue between your teeth" I will be heading to represent you and your message and your channel. You are the real support! 😀 Actually we're not native english speakers, we're from a middle east country. My friends mostly got stuck in street language of the U.S.A., like in the movies or "the songs"… Eventhough we're second grade university students, they're not so into speaking properly. But again, Thanks to God, you exist! .Viva La TH and you 😀

    +Emuru Mudkip  Ok, that might be why your friends think that we don't use the TH. If they listen to rap/hip hop or they like what you call "street language", then it can definitely sound like none of us use the TH! Those are dialects of English, but are not considered "proper" in the US by any standards. Thanks for your nice note, and thanks for watching my videos all the way from the Middle East! 🙂

    Thank you again Heather! Also I represented those comments to my friend. He said that he really appreaciated the soul of my researchign and questioning, he's really glad that I asked it to you. 🙂 There is a thank from him, too. 🙂 In the name of "Proper", I'm gonna pronunce TH.  I have proper dictates and principles when I speak my native language especially in business lif, so the same's gonna be while I'm speaking English. Thank you again Heather, you're #1! :))
