Mastering the 'th' Sound: A Must for Clarity in English!

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

Many Indonesian learners struggle with the English 'th' sounds, as they do not exist in Bahasa Indonesia. This week, incorporate a short pronunciation drill by having students practice minimal pairs like 'think' and 'sink.' Encourage them to place their tongue gently between their teeth and blow air for 'th.' By focusing on this sound, students will improve their clarity and reduce L1 transfer issues, making their spoken English more comprehensible.
