Mastering 'th': A Quick Classroom Exercise

A discussion in Teaching English in Indonesia on the SpeakWise Indonesia teacher forum.

One common challenge for Indonesian learners is the pronunciation of the 'th' sound, as it doesn't exist in Bahasa Indonesia. To help your students, introduce a simple exercise: have them practice saying words like 'think' and 'this' using a mirror. Ask them to focus on placing their tongue between their teeth while pronouncing these sounds. This week, dedicate just a few minutes each day to this activity—it will boost their confidence in speaking and help them articulate more clearly!
