There are actually two 'th' sounds in English. You can use online dictionaries with audio to help check the pronunciation of individual words. For example;
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/with
you just click on the blue speaker shape to hear the word.
I agree with Tracy that the best way to improve your pronunciation is to speak to native speaker because we can tell you if you are producing the sound correctly.
Also if you scroll to the end of the dictionary entries, you can see the phonetic script!
I hope this helps,
Liz
how do you pronunce with?
I want to know how you pronunce "with".
I thought I learned how to pronunce with as "wiz".
But I recently realized with is pronunced "wis"
Which do native speakers pronunce "wiz" or "wis"?
p.s : I'm sorry about a phonetic symbols for with. I don't know how to type a phonetic symble for "with."
So I just could write "wiz" and "wis"
I hope you can understand my point.0 votedMay 26, 20171Zongzi, Rice Dumplings.
On During the Dragon Boat Festival we often eat Zongzi (rice dumplings). It's a kind of traditional food in China. The food is a rice ball with fillings and wrapped by in corn leaves. The fillings are fresh raw meat, beef, ham meat. mushrooms, red beans, peanuts, dates, green beans, lilies, lotus seeds, chestnuts or fresh fruit, etc. Sometimes the fillings are the a mixture of these ingredients and the food rice dumplings are all steamed.
The food dumplings have different flavors and you can choose the flavor that you like.0 votedMay 20, 20171Please check my story and a little letter:)
When the phone rang, I knew immediately who was calling. There It was my ex-boyfriend. Two months ago I told him that I didn't love him and broke up with him. But he didn't give up. I decided to ignore him because I knew he wouldn't change. He loved drinking beer with friends and watching football, but I hate beer and football because I dreamed about having our own family and children. I picked up the phone because he had called me ten times. He told me that he would change and stopped drinking beer with friends and also he wanted to marry me. I was so happy, se we are a couple now and I'm looking for a wedding dress.
Dear Tom,
I want to apologize about forgetting your birthday.
I'm looking forward to meeting you, because I have an amazing gift for you.
Let's meet at the cafe Puccini at 8 p.m.
Hugs

If we look back at the ordinary things we usually do, we will realize that our life is increadibly dependent on technology. New trends show us that this situation is far away to reduce. ( Maybe "...is unlikely to reverse") A new policy of implementation of a tablet-based program in education is being discussed in parliament. If this measure would be is approved, students would not need to use second-hand books from previous students. I must admit that implementation of this policy would have advantages and drawbacks.
Firstly, students would not have to bring heavy bags to school. Every day, we can see how teenagers carry heavy backpacks filled with all the books they need for their classes. Experts warn us that carrying an excessive weight could cause backache. If the program were approved, no physical books would be required and therefore this problem would be eliminated
Secondly, upgrading and updating of all of the materials used at in class would be very easy and cheap. In addition to this, all digital material could be uploadeding into the cloud where children could do their homework regardless of where they are. would be.According to some research published in prestigious journals however, students that use new technologies to study have less capacity to stay focused. Technologyies helps us to get a lot of information although our capacity to remember is diminished scarce.
Another drawback is the fact that students could not take notes in the books when they are listening to their teacher. As a result, different approaches to study shwould be required.
Last but not least, the cost to put this program in practice are very expensive for families, especially for those with low incomes. It A clear policy would be necessary to subsidise to those families who could an not afford to buy tablets.
All in all, new technologies are changing our tools in education. Old methods should be replaced by new ones. We will Change is inevitable. There is not another way.advantages and disadvantages,
I suggest benefits to be the opposite of drawbacks
