Tongue twisters are a great way to practice
your English pronunciation.
And I know there's lots of videos on YouTube
where you can learn common English tongue twisters,
but I like to write tongue twisters.
In this English lesson,
I will share with you some tongue twisters I've created
to help you practice making certain English sounds
when you say English words out loud.
So stick around,
these tongue twisters were created just for you,
and I think you'll really enjoy them.
(upbeat music)
This first tongue twister will help you practice
the S and SH sounds.
And it's kind of appropriate
because we do have snow on the ground behind me.
It goes like this.
Sometimes she shovels soft snow slowly.
Let me say it one more time.
Sometimes she shovels soft snow slowly.
Now what I'm going to do is just pause for a bit
and maybe I'll dance while I give you a few seconds
to try it yourself.
(upbeat music)
And now I'll read it one final time.
Sometimes she shovels soft snow slowly.
This next one is meant to help you practice the H sound.
And it goes like this.
He hates his house because his house is hot.
This is sometimes true for me
because I don't really like it when the house is too warm.
Here it is again.
He hates his house because his house is hot.
Let me do a little dance
and I'll let you practice it once or twice.
(upbeat music)
And let me read it one more time.
He hates his house because his house is hot.
This next one is designed to help you practice the R sound.
And it goes like this.
Running around results in a rapid heart rate.
Let me say it one more time.
Running around results in a rapid heart rate.
Let me let you practice it,
and I'll actually run around
and see if my heart rate goes up.
(upbeat music)
And let me say it one more time.
Running around results in a rapid heart rate.
I'm not sure if that run actually did it,
so I'll have to check my Fitbit here.
Yep, I think it's up just a little bit.
This next one is to help you practice the TH sound,
a really tricky sound when you're speaking English.
And it goes like this.
They threw three things at the thieves.
Apparently they were getting robbed
and they thought throwing things would be a good idea.
Let me read it again.
They threw three things at the thieves.
And now let me just give you a second or two
to practice it yourself.
(upbeat music)
I'm not sure why I'm dancing.
I just thought I needed to do something
while you were practicing.
Anyways, let me read it for you one more time.
They threw three things at the thieves.
It makes me wonder what three things
did they throw at the thieves?
I guess that's another tongue twister, isn't it?
I have to admit, I stole this last one and modified it a bit
from my last tongue twister lesson from a year ago.
And it's to help you practice the W sound.
I just loved the words, so I thought I'd use it again.
When we are cold, we wear warm woolen winter hats.
I don't have mine on today, but when we are cold,
we wear warm woolen winter hats.
So there's one to help you practice the W sound.
Let me do my little dance
while you practice it once or twice.
(upbeat music)
And one more time.
When we are cold, we wear warm woolen winter hats.
I seem to have forgotten mine today,
but I did wear my warm woolen winter gloves.
So that is definitely keeping my hands warm.
Well, thank you so much for listening
to my silly tongue twisters.
I hope you were able to practice them a bit.
I hope they help you as you try to pronounce
those different sounds when you're speaking English.
Do remember to come back and watch this video
a couple of times this week and practice a few times.
And if you're interested at the end,
I will put a link to the last video I did on this,
where I had a whole bunch of other tongue twisters
that you could try.
Anyways, thanks again for watching.
