Common Mispronunciations of Thor
Not TAWR
Air passes over the tongue tip at the front; it is never stopped. A plain t gives tor, the rocky hill.
Not THOHR
The vowel is the aw of law, not the oh of go. Rounding it too high moves the name towards thorough cut short.
Tip: Thursday is Thor's day, and the th in the weekday keeps the same breathy sound.
