Tongue Twisters

Tongue Twisters

Tongue twisters are words, phrases or sentences which are composed of similar consonantal sounds.

The representations of these in the brain overlap to a great extent making it difficult to articulate.

Benefits:

-> Tongue twisters improve the pronunciation making you a better speaker.

-> You will get to know which words you have difficulty speaking.

-> They are a good warm-up exercise for muscles involved in speaking and can be performed before a public-speaking event.

-> It's a fun activity to do with family and friends.

Becoming a Pro

-> Read the sentence slowly with pauses between words.

-> If you encounter a new word then repeat it until you are saying it clearly.

-> Read the sentence at a slow pace making sure you are clearly pronouncing the beginning and end of each word.

-> Increase the pace in steps after every 5 consecutive correct repetitions.

-> Say it without looking and repeat until you do it correctly 5 times consecutive.
