How To Practice English Word Sounds Ep 553

When learning to speak English clearly, tongue twisters are great practice. Tongue twisters will help you master the art of correct diction by exercising the intricate muscles in your mouth. This type of exercise forces you to slow down and think about how you are going to shape your mouth to achieve the sounds you need. Tongue twisters are difficult but can also be fun. If you're watching on YouTube or Spotify, then you also get to see me struggling to say them.
