It's an unexpected case for me that the th-sounds are the most difficult even for natives. I was taught to them pretty fast in school even while english isn't my native language, and don't remember any difficulties with them. The reason why many not native speakers struggle with them can be that th-sounds sound like a lisp or something ridiculous. It can be a matter of psychology.

I thought that germans use more t and d sounds instead of interdentals. And from russians (can be applied to other slavs too, i guess) i heard just all of variations, but the most common is use of s and z sounds, yes. Sometimes it makes a stupid situation when one says "i think" and it sounds like "i sink" (in water)...

The most difficult english sound for me (and most of russians, i guess) is æ-sound. It is difficult in pronunciation and can be even more difficult to hear it in fast speech. And many russians just use a sound which is similar to ɛ (but a little more open) instead of the correct one.

No entendi.
¿Que tienen que ver las palabras "tin", "fin" y "sin"?

Here in Quebec, French speakers use the sounds "d" and "s" and never the "z" which seems a little ridiculous to us
