#pronunciation

P/B Tongue Twisters are great coordination exercises to improve your English pronunciation. Make sure to put your lips in the correct place for each Tongue Twister. Your muscles must be strong to clearly articulate the words to be easily understood when you speak English.

/P/ and /B/ use both lips to create the sound, the only difference is in the air. /P/ is voiceless - Air only
/B/ is voiced - vibration
Tongue Twisters are the calisthenics of pronunciation practice. REPEAT them 3-5 times a day. Speak each sound with the correct tongue, lip and mouth placement.
Start slowly, then build speed.
● Muscle coordination control for articulation.
● Handy concentration habit for correct lip and tongue position
● Improve fluency of movement between the alphabet sounds
● Muscle memory development between your mouth and brain
● Easy muscle warm-up to speak more clearly for presentations
Use the STAIRstep intonation.
● Stress content words and correct syllables with a higher pitch & hold a fraction of a second longer
● Quick unstressed function words are linked to the next word

Hi Ziulin, I'm sure she has fun with you saying them together. Playing with Tongue Twisters is how our children improve their pronunciation. Cheers, Donna

I'm so glad you like them. I will be posting new ones each week. Make sure to use a mirror when you practice. Let me know if you see a difference in the flexibility of your muscles. Cheers, Donna
