The one thing

12tongue slides 1 → 2voice ON
/ɔɪ/ · oi

Start with round lips and your mouth open, the way you say 'aw'. Then slide your tongue up and forward until you are smiling — /ɔɪ/, as in 'boy' and 'oil'.

They check it: Mirror: round lips at the start, smiling lips at the end. If your lips never change, it is not the sound yet.

Not in Somali, Arabic. For those children this is a new physical skill, not a reminder. Do not let the column start until the mouth can make it.

Watch for

Splitting it into two separate vowels — 'bo-y'. It is one slide, not two syllables.
