How do you teach someone to aspirate?

So I've been trying to teach my wife some Gujarati so that she can communicate with my family better, and I'm running into a wall when it comes to teaching her how to aspirate, and differentiate between aspirated and unaspirated sounds. Do you guys have any advice on how to approach this?
