Non-native speakers, how common is English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in your countries?
In my country, Malaysia, English is the default language of basically every institution of tertiary education (university, college, etc). I simply thought this was the remnant of British colonialism but maybe it's just due to the status of English today, since there tend to be international lecturers and students in tertiary education. In addition, academia is heavily dominated by English. Research papers published in English tend to receive more recognition. Despite this, there's a university founded for the purpose of elevating the status of the national language, where most courses are taught in Malay. What about your countries?

Trouble pronouncing "the other"
I was practicing my pronunciation like usual, but eventually I had to say: "I killed the other Maurice" And I just constantly stutter when trying to say: "the other" quickly. I just don't understand how your tongue is supposed to go from the "TH" formation to the "O" and then to "THR" so quickly without stuttering. Any tips?
