Thanks. Osaka, Japan Senior Member 2,805Please feel free to correct any words I write. LiJ Hi, Lij, Of course your tongue begins the "thr" touching your upper teeth. If you make a second contact (eg., upper gum) you're going to get a "d" sound. You must work to avoid that. The trick is to drop the front of your tongue before the main body of your tongue heads back to make the rrrr sound. Rgdz, - A.

"Through" is a little harder, but not as hard as "three," for which you hardly drop your jaw at all, giving you very little room in which to work.
