"TH" is quite an easy sound to teach, I find. Easy to explain; put your tongue at your teeth, blow a little, then continue with the rest of the word.

My wife's so cute learning: "... Thhh... Thhh... Thde."

It is teaching "V" that is hard. How do I turn "Wictory" into "Victory"? Or "R". The best I can do to bring the "R" sound out is practice dog growling sounds...


The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…

For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold…
