Thanks for the response.
The /i/ doesn't seem to be a problem. He is able to say my perfectly, but I'm not certain of his my in combination with other sounds. I won't be meeting with him until Thursday when I'll ask him to try taught.

ESL learner from Burma
I'm working with an adult ESL learner from Burma. He's having a very difficult time with words that end in oy such as toy, soy, and boy. He pronounces toy as twoy, soy as swoy, and boy as bwoy. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem or any suggestions? I would appreciate any help ...
