I know it really hurts, please tell me more...
My arm really hurts!
The best way which is grammatically correct is I am in pain
I am in pain
"I am in pain" would be correct
I'm in pain. My head hurts. My arm is hurting. I'm not certain "pain" is a verb, nor if it lends itself to conjugation.
I am in pain is the correct answer. Pain is a noun, not a verb, so you can't say 'Its paining'.[Note that pain is a verb in with the sense of causing pain to someone.]
I am in pain is correct

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.

The biggest challenge I faced while learning English was understanding and using different tenses correctly. It took time to get used to the various rules and exceptions.
