This is weird, because I´m Brazilian and I learnt that the "TH" (symbol /θ/ ) sound of the words ANOTHER, THAT, THE, THOSE etc doesn´t have the same sound of "TH" (symbol /ð/) of the following words :THINK, BOTH, PATH, THIEF ect...
4:15 wrong pronunciaion of the sound for the example "another", he needs to tell the diiference between the voiced and voiceless th sound, especially bc at the end of ther words in his examples the sound is voiceless...
This video made me mad. It's like when you breathe or blink. You don't consciously think about it. If you think about blinking or breating , you are probably going to mess up the pattern just by thinking about the pattern that it was going in.
Now that I am thinking about the letters "th", It's making me analyze every time I say words with "th". And I am thinking "Am I pronouncing the th right?".. and it's really annoying lol.

i agree with you..james is indeed an excellent teacher...his teaching approach is good..but he failed to mention the "voiced" & "unvoiced" th..this is a must to teach "th" for pronunciation...but on the other hand, no need to be too technical with all the rules..hehe...
I say it usually like D because it takes time to put my tongue between my teeth and not only this but I don't want to risk to spit on somebody. Why would a language have this sound!!! Oh, by the way I see in her videos Britney Spears pronounces L like that. Showing her tongue and almost touching her nose with it. Ha!
Actually, I think all of the sounds in my language are much simple. Whatever is written, that's what have to be read. With no tongue bending. haha! We have forms that are difficult. And foreigners usually complain on the length of the words.

Now tell me: Am I wrong or am I right?

Your way of teaching "th" was good, however, you didn't mention the difference of voiced and unvoiced.
For example
Both as in unvoiced
smooth as in voiced
or
Three as in unvoiced
The as in voiced
It makes a big difference to explain the voicing and/or unvoicing of the sound.

Hi James,
A doubt about phrasal verb definition:
You explained it "a sentence fragment with a verb OR a NOUN".
I think, should it not be like this:
"a sentence fragment with a verb AND a PREPOSITION" ?

I am sure your language have sound which are difficult to English speakers too.
they must ask the same question... why would a language have a sound like that?..... well, we don't know why... we just have to speak like that....
