One of the most difficult sounds for us (teachers) to teach our students is the th sounds. As far as it does not exist in our phonology system it is really hard for them to produce properly, which takes time and constant practice. One technique I use with my students and which serves them quite well is to compare the th sounds with the lisp. In fact, the online Cambridge dictionary brings the entry lisp as being a verb meaning "to pronounce 's' and 'z' sounds like 'th'."
