How To Practice English Word Sounds Ep 553


Listen Later

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.

Techniques To Practice English Word Sounds

✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-words-properly/

You use your  mouth muscles to form the sounds needed for words. Normally, your brain  is in autopilot mode. You don’t even think about what you need to do to  create a word sound. This is great for your native language, but it can  cause problems with a second language. With a new language, you need to  achieve unfamiliar sounds that might not exist in your native language,  or you will need to change sounds because spoken English needs this.

You  can use Tongue twisters to train the muscles of your mouth, just like  going to train at the gym. It helps you speak English more precisely,  and it helps speed up how quickly you find the sounds you need to  pronounce English words. Forcing yourself to say difficult word  combinations in a new language does two things.

  1. It forces you to switch off the autopilot and actually think about how you need to form your mouth muscles to achieve a sound.
  2. It helps you develop, literally build muscles in your mouth that you need to speak English.
  3. You  won’t find it easy. Native speakers find these difficult, so practice  until you can say these tongue twisters loudly and clearly. Have fun  with it. This is a great way to improve your English speaking.
