Who is coming to the party? Whom are you inviting to the party?
To begin with, "whom" is slowly disappearing from the language, it might sound a bit old-fashioned at times. People seem to be universally lazy in terms of language and they tend to make their lives easier when they can. Chucking "whom" and going for "who" is a good example of this. That said, I'd use such sentences as the following to illustrate the difference between "whom" and "who": "I gave the gift to HIM" -> "WHOM did I give the gift to?" vs "HE gave me the gift" -> "WHO gave me the gift?" "I have invited THEM to the party" -> "WHOM did you invite to the party?" vs "THEY have invited me to the party" -> WHO invited me to the party?" "You hate HER" -> "WHOM do you hate?" vs "SHE hates you" -> WHO hates you?"
With whom am I speaking? Who would like to help me?

Through modeling, where the teacher provides a clear model of the pronunciation, and the student repeats it. Secondly, phonetic transcription using the International phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which can help the student understand how words are pronounced. Another way could be using tongue twisters, which can be a fun and helpful way for practicing pronunciation , especially for sounds that are difficult to pronounce. The last way could be recordings, where students could listen to native speakers and imitate how they pronounce words.
