Repeatedly singing the word THINK is great practice of the voiceless TH or /θ/ sound. Note that there are two TH sounds: voiced and voiceless (or unvoiced). Both take the same mouth position: the tip of the tongue is gently touching the front teeth. It is between the top and bottom teeth but the teeth are NOT biting the tongue. This is important to ensure airflow.

The voiceless TH (/θ/ as in THINK) has a breathy sound. The voiced TH (/ð/ as in THE and THERE) requires activation of the vocal cords and has a buzzy, vibrational quality.

While listening to "Think" listen also for the /i/ as in GREEN vowel sound in the words ME, FREE, and FREEDOM (1st syllable) as well as the /aʊ/ as in BROWN vowel sound in the word ABOUT (2nd syllable).
