Mastering 'Th' Sounds: A Simple Classroom Game

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

Many Indonesian learners struggle with the English 'th' sounds (/θ/ as in 'think' and /ð/ as in 'this'), which don't exist in Bahasa Indonesia. This week, try a quick classroom game called 'Th Bingo.' Create bingo cards with words featuring 'th' sounds, like 'think,' 'that,' 'the,' etc. Have students take turns choosing words, pronouncing them clearly, and marking them on their cards. This activity engages them actively and reinforces correct pronunciation in a fun way, helping them build confidence in using these challenging sounds.
