Joey from Friends actually explained it really well! “Tuesday” sounds like “two’s day”. “Thursday” sounds similar to “third day” (but obviously with the vocalized “s” sound in the place of the “d”)

Sure! The beginning of each word is different: For "Tuesday", to make the "T", push the tip of your tongue -firmly- against the -back- of your top teeth. To make the "ue", make a tight circle with your lips (like you're trying to whistle). Now, -forcefully- push air out from your lungs! For "Thursday", to make the "Th", push the tip of your tongue -lightly- against your top teeth. Push air out -gently- so that it flows around your tongue. It's ok if your tongue moves a bit, but it should basically stay in place because you're not pushing "explosively" like for "T"! The "ur" sound comes from deep down in your throat, almost like an angry dog growling.

In the UK the pronunciation sounds like "chews day" for Tuesday and Thursday is just pronounced how it's spelt.

I have a lot of Spanish speaking students. Typically the problem comes in Thursday, where you aren't putting your tongue out between your teeth to get the "th" sound. If you feel like putting an audio of your pronunciation of these 2 words, I can hear what you're doing!
