I am not a student at the moment, but I would like to share my experience as a student before. I remember that what I enjoyed most with my teacher is when my teacher gave fun activities and activities that will engage the students.
When I was a student, I remember one day our teacher took us outside the classroom and taught us a game that we participated and it was related to the topic that we were learning. It was really enjoyable and it made me remember every bit of that topic.
The fountain of knowledge that poured out continuously, I wanted to be like my teachers

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.
