I don't normally have trouble swallowing but a couple of big pills I take daily would give me trouble. A trick I learned recently was to turn my head to the side as I swallowed them. This video on youtube also describes different techniques besides turning your head: https://youtu.be/NUzRGKx79k4

I got into a habit of putting water in my mouth first, and then popping the pill in to swallow. It's weird cause now I can't put the pill first and add water, but it helps me with bigger pills, I find it easier when it's floating in the liquid.
I've successfully used a variation of this technique, essentially holding the pills in my mouth until they are coated well with saliva. This has helped immensely.
