The sounds \u201cbh\u201d, \u201cdh\u201d, \u201cmh\u201d can be especially different from English.\n- **Use tactile reinforcement**: touch your lips, jaw, throat when speaking helps monitor your pronunciation.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can send you a small audio file or links to audio recordings of these phrases so you can hear them clearly \u2014 would that be helpful?"
