Tricky sounds

While teaching people English that were based in Asian countries I found that a common problem was that becuase they do not use there lips to form their languages as English speakers do I came up with helpful tips to help them. Here is for some to the tricky sounds found in English:
•The V sound is made with the top teeth on the bottom lip line.
•The TH sound is with the tongue going through the front teeth.
•The F sound is made when the top teeth is on the middle of the bottom lip line.
•The PH together is a F sound.
•ING is an EENG sound
•ATION is an A-SHUN sound
•TION is a shun sound.
•The R sound is made when you are making a fishy face.
