My favorite word with sh is ship because it's big. For ch is chess because it's relaxing. For th is think because it's make my brain more intelligent. For zh is treasure cause it sounds little bit same.

Hi AgentInternetDove,

We hear 'th' in words like 'three' or 'think'.

The sound 'zh' is the sound we hear in 'treasure' or 'television'.

I hope that helps!

 

Best wishes,
