Teacher Tips & Pronunciation Traps

The “TH” Sound in “Thank you”

Spanish speakers often substitute /t/ or /s/ (“Tank you”). Have students gently place the tongue between teeth to blow air.

“Good evening” vs “Good night”

Remind students that “Good night” is strictly a farewell or bedtime phrase, not a greeting upon arriving in the evening.
