English phrase to CORRECT:
This happens because they do not put their tongues in front of their teeth.
English speakers bite their tongues a whole lot, and not just in the form of the expression, but when they talk they put their tongues all over in their mouths.
If you are a native English speaker try saying [notranslate]"THEY"[/notranslate] with your teeth clenched.
Hard right?
Well that's how Latin Americans will usually speak, keeping their tongues back behind their teeth. So saying the [notranslate]"D"[/notranslate] like a [notranslate]"TH"[/notranslate] but keeping our teeth clenched will get us closer to sounding more native. This is also why [notranslate]"R"[/notranslate] will tend to sound like [notranslate]"D"[/notranslate].
