tip for teaching vocabulary

when you're using flash cards or other objects for teaching vocabulary, here's a good way of teaching it.
say the word once, and have them repeat it.
say the word once again, and have them repeat it.
say the word three times fast and have them repeat it three times fast.
this fast repetition of the word allows them to get the proper pronunciation because you don't have time to think about it as much. it would look something like this:
apple (apple)
apple (apple)
appleappleapple (appleappleapple)
plus it gets really fun when you're using a long word and even you have a hard time pronouncing it fast.
