Default Vietnamese, Thai and Cambodian students and pronunciation

Vietnamese, Thai and Cambodian students seem to have the worst pronunciation, finding it particularly difficult to pronounce word endings ('help' becomes 'hell', 'wealth' becomes 'well').

This must be due to first language influence. What exactly is it about the first language that causes this, anyone know?
