as in with and whizz
Below is a list of words that vary only by one having the sound /ð/ and the other the sound /z/.
You can use this list to practise the sounds, or as a list of words to be careful in pronouncing.
下面的单词列表左边和右边的单词只有发音/ð/和/z/的不同，你可以用这个列表来练习发音或者区分两个音标发音的不同。
重要提示：
/ð/ is similar to the sound /θ/ in "thing" and so is also pronounced with your tongue touching or between your teeth. It can be useful to practise by sticking your tongue right out of your mouth. You can check if you are doing so with a mirror or by putting a finger in front of your lips that should get moist each time. /ð/ in "that" uses your voice, which is why it is sometimes confused with the voiced sound /z/.
/z/ is pronounced with the mouth in the same position as with /s/, but using the vocal cords. The tongue is well inside the mouth, and it can also help to spread the lips thin and wide to make the sound unlike /ð/.
