Hey guys,

how do you pronounce the "th" (both /T/ and /ð/ sound in fast speech?

I'm talking about American Accent

For example: "with + you"
 
Ok, let me explain again

What happens with "th" sound in fast speech?

I've heard the th sounds is said like /tʃ/ before "you" or another consonant.

Is that true?


with you = /witʃ ju:/

American accents also vary. From the different ones I've heard it could be any one of these, with some consonant elision happening

/wið ju:/ /wit tʃu:/, /wid dzju:/ /wit tju:/
 
Thank you, Damo!

Is there any book that teaches these variations?

Any suggestion, everyone?
