My daughter age 5, speaks with the letter m in front, e.g. nasi she said msi, makan becomes mkan, why and how can I help her to improve. I'm from Malaysia nasi means rice, makan means eat, sounding vowel's also difficult for her, please help.

Sit face to face with her and show her with exaggerated mouth movements how to pronounce initial sounds. Let her see herself in a hand mirror doing the same thing. Exaggerate sounds and words even when you talk during the day.
