Do you want to improve your pronunciation?
Well, you must try tongue twisters.
Now, tongue twisters were something that I
tried when I was a little child.
I would love to have fun with pronunciation and I
would like to mix up all the sounds and say all
the tongue twisters until I pronounce words correctly.
So in this video, you are going to
learn and you are going to say the
seven hardest tongue twisters that will trip you.
Believe me, when I tried them, I got tripped myself.
OK, can you say them?
Well, let's see.
I'm going to challenge you now.
Now, before we get to the tongue twisters, hold on.
Let's understand why we need
to pronounce tongue twisters.
It's a fun lesson, of course, but there is a purpose.
They put your mouth to the test, which means it gives
you a sort of mouth exercise until you say the words
correctly and pronounce every sound in the word correctly.
And it tests your ability to say
the words with the right pronunciation. Okay?
So when you're saying a tongue twister, there
is a rhythm to what you are saying.
And it tests whether you are able to
say words in rhythm with the right pronunciation.
And of course, because you are putting
your mouth to the test, you're saying
the words in the right pronunciation.
Obviously, you are improving your fluency and
your speech ability or your speaking ability.
Okay, so are you ready? Are you ready?
We're going in for the seven hardest tongue twisters.
Okay?
So you're going to say this with me, all right?
But before you say it with me, I
want you to hear me say it, okay?
Now, each tongue twister will focus on one sound.
So this tongue twister is going
to focus on the P sound. Okay?
It looks like a P, but it's not
a letter P, it's just a P.
What do you do?
You blow the air out of your mouth and go P.
Let's focus on this sound.
I'm going to say it slowly.
First you repeat it after me, and
then we will say it faster. Okay?
Pad kid, pod, kurd, pulled cord.
Now this sentence, let me tell
you, has no meaning whatsoever.
Tongue twisters are not supposed to have a meaning,
but it just tests your seeking ability, right?
So don't worry about the meaning of the sentence.
But now let's say this a little faster, okay?
Pat kit.
Podcurd, pulled cord.
Let's try faster. Pack tilt.
Podcurd pulls pod. Oops. I tripped. Did you?
Well, like I said, these are really going to trip you.
Okay?
But at the end of the day, have
you been able to say the P?
Well, that's what really matters.
Okay, one last time.
Pat kit, pot, kurd, pulled chord.
Okay, the P has to be a nice popping sound.
Okay, let's go to another sound, help
you practice a little bit more.
The next sound is a I not a,
but a I let's try this one.
We're going to go slow at the beginning.
Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager
managing an imaginary menagerie. Oh my God.
That's really difficult, right?
Let's try one more time, okay?
Because even I'm tripping a little bit over here.
Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager
managing an imaginary menagerie.
Let's try that for now. Okay?
Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager
managing an imaginary menagerie.
I swear this is the fastest I can go.
If anyone can go faster than that,
type it in the comment right now.
Menagerie basically is a place where you kind of
put all the animals together in one pin.
It could be a place where all
sheep and all cattle are gathered. It's a French word.
It's pronounced as a menagerie.
Menagerie. Okay.
Alright then let's go to the next sound
where you have to say the y correctly.
Yu, as in yellow y.
Okay, let's say the words after
me slowly for the first time.
I like New York.
Unique New York.
I like unique New York.
Can we say that a little faster now?
Let's try again.
I like New York.
Unique New York.
I like unique New York.
Let's try a little faster. I like New York.
Unique New York.
I like unique New York.
A little faster this time. I like New York.
Unique New York.
I like unique New York. Oh my God.
How many of you tripped right now?
How many of you really could not get the year sound?
Well, don't worry, keep practicing.
The year sound is very simple.
It is produced at the back of
your throat and you go Ya.
Okay, say this several times, and believe me,
this sound is going to be really easy.
Okay, let's go to the next sound, which is a toe.
Not a toe, but a t, OK?
Where your tongue touches this upper part behind
your upper teeth, the upper gums behind your
upper teeth, and you go t.
Not the butt.
Okay, say this slowly with me.
Send toast to 1010 stout stains.
Okay, you know what?
I'm made a mistake at the very
beginning, so let me try again, okay?
Send toast to 1010 stout saints, ten tall tens.
Okay, it's a lot of teas for me,
but we're going to try again, okay?
Send toast to 1010 stout saints, ten tall tens.
Can we try again a little faster this time?
Centers to 1010 stout saints, ten tall tens.
OK, one last time and we'll do
it a little faster this time.
Ten toes to 1010 stout Saints, ten talls tens.
What are we doing here?
We are doing a mouth exercise when our
tongue is getting used to say the t.
The T.
When you keep saying this, you will
stop saying the t like a toe.
A lot of people, especially from Asia and
India, we say this sounds like a toe.
But you'd keep doing this and you will
eventually get to say it as a t.
All right, let's go to the next sound, which
is a s like a hiss of a snake.
Okay, let's see the tongue twister.
Repeat after me slowly for the first time.
Six like bricks with picks and sticks.
Okay, a lot of says over here.
Let's try a little faster.
Six leg bricks with picks and sticks. One more time.
Okay, this sounds the hiss.
Six hits six.
Six bricks with picks and sticks.
Okay, would I write I think I made a few mistakes?
If you've made no mistakes, put your comment in there
so that we can practice the sir sound even better. Okay?
All right, let's go to the next one, which is W.
And guys, remember, this is not a V, it's a W.
So your mouth goes into a pout
as if you are kissing someone.
So it's more like W.
OK, let's have a look at the tongue twister.
Now say this after me.
I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish. Okay.
But if you wish to wish the witch wishes
I won't wish to wish you wish to wish.
Okay, it's a lot of wishes.
We try again a little faster this time.
I wish to wish to wish you wish to wish.
But if you wish to wish the witch wishes
I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.
OK, I think I'm doing pretty well, right? Are you?
Whoever hasn't made a mistake, put
your drop in your comments below.
We'll try one last time and we'll do it real fast.
Okay, everyone ready?
One, two, three. Let's start.
I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish.
But if you wish the wish to which wishes,
I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.
Yay.
How many of you have got that right?
If you have, put in your comment there.
Alright, so this will help you practice the W sound.
Make sure you're not doing a W but a W.
And then we've got another sound which is a so.
This is not a do, this is a so.
How do you produce it?
Your tongue will appear between your
upper teeth and your lower teeth.
And while your tongue is in that position, you blow
the air out of your mouth and you go okay.
You got to hear the air blow
out of your mouth by doing T.
OK, so let's have a look at the
tongue twister slowly at the first time.
So 33 fief thought that they
thrilled the throne throughout Thursday. Okay?
I don't think I liked it myself.
I'm going to try again, and so are you.
So we've got this.
The 33 thieves thought that they
thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
Let's try a little faster this time. Okay?
Remember, it's a th sound.
The 33 thieves thought that they
thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
One more time, faster this time. Okay.
The 33 thieves thought that they
thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
Okay, if you keep practicing this sound,
you will stop calling the or th.
Like we say, it's not a th. It's not a d.
It's a keep practicing this, keep saying
it several times, and you will see
a huge difference in your pronunciation.
Well, I believe that if you keep practicing
each of these tongue twisters, you will come
to a point where in your mouth will
be accustomed to saying each sound correctly.
So keep practicing.
Keep learning the hardest tongue twisters.
Don't worry if they trip you.
Keep learning until you get them right.
I'll see you soon. Take care. Keep learning. Bye.
