Difficult for Russian-speaking combinations of letters in English words are given much easier through pronunciation in the voice of English tongue twisters.

It will most likely be difficult to learn tongue twisters in English for beginners, but for those who know at least a little English, it is possible and even necessary. Tongue twisters (English "tongue twisters") perfectly train and improve the correct pronunciation. A huge plus of tongue twisters is that they train not only English, but also speech in general. They are studied and used by actors, politicians, TV presenters and lecturers who speak to large audiences.

Instructions for memorizing tongue twisters are very simple:

Read the tongue twister and read it again (do not rush!);

Repeat very slowly and repeat 15 more times at the fastest pace until the tongue twister starts to “bounce off the teeth”. Muscles remember everything and then in a real situation, when it is necessary to speak, the sounds will be correct;

We laughed and began to study the next tongue twister :)

There are sounds that are different from those we are used to in Ukrainian or Russian. Consider how to learn to pronounce them more naturally, more "in English."

4 sounds to remember when memorizing tongue twisters in English:

1. The first will be short And. There is no such thing in our language, because we do not have shades of sounds. "and" is "and", "e" is "e" and that's it. But in English the situation is not at all like that. There is a sound called "short and" that appears in the words "ship", "live" or "bitch". And vice versa, there are words that differ in only one sound: live - leave, ship - sheep, and so on.

Try saying:
"Strict vegans eat beet chips with bean dip, and keep meat and fish dishes out of reach."
Compare reach and dish - they are different sounds. Therefore, imagine that this is the Ukrainian sound "and", if it makes it easier.

2. The next sound is " W". For some reason, many people think that w = v = y, but this is not true. This is another sound that we don't have, so it's hard to perceive. You just need to push your lips forward a little and that's it. You can see the difference between "v" and "w" in the phrase "very well" - these two sounds are pronounced completely differently.

There is a tongue twister about witches that many people know from school:
"If two witches would watch two watches, which witches would watch which watch."
Almost every word starts with "w", so it's pretty good practice.

3. The next will be the letter combination " TH”, which can give two sounds. The thing is that when we pronounce these sounds, we do something very strange and unusual. This does not happen in Ukrainian or Russian. To pronounce these sounds, you need to touch your tongue to the back of your teeth. Perhaps there will be a feeling that the language wants to escape.


Try saying: "there those thousand thinkers were thinking how did the other three thieves go through". You can feel the language trying to escape (if that's the association you've chosen).

4. Last but not least - sound " R". We have this sound, but we pronounce it completely differently and it even gets in the way when we try to speak English. We seem to growl, and the tongue touches the palate. As for the English sound, it is necessary to isolate the language, not to move it at all. In addition, you need to understand that everything depends on the pronunciation. The British very rarely pronounce this sound, but the Americans always do it.

Try saying:
Ray Rag ran across a rough road. Across a rough road Ray Rag ran. Where is the rough road Ray Rag ran across?”. It's just 5 words repeated over and over."

An important point: remember that there is a connection between practice and real communication. Many people practice for the sake of practice, but do not use these skills in life. There are people who read tongue twisters perfectly - no problem. Then, when something needs to be said or presented, they make the same mistakes. There is no understanding that this can actually be applied. Therefore, do not forget that you are training for something, and not just like that.

Mistakes that are most often made when pronouncing tongue twisters are called expectations errors. Linguists explain this by saying that the brain does not think about the translation or meaning of each word separately, but thinks about the entire line at once. Tongue twisters are usually made up not from classes of words, but from a number of phonologically similar words, so a person is easily confused when pronouncing tongue twisters.

This is not a task for reading speed, an important point is the accuracy of pronunciation. It is better to spend a little more time, but work on each word, but be sure of the correctness. You can learn it wrong and then you have to somehow correct it, which will be much more difficult than just learning it right first.

English tongue twisters will help improve your diction and it's also just fun! One more thing! If you want to show off your knowledge of tongue twisters somewhere outside the company of your friends, be sure to find out the translation of what you are repeating. You never know! :)

What are tongue twisters in English?

Day after day, we come across a foreign language and we have to study its phonetic features. Sometimes, quite complex elements require a lot of time to work them out. However, there is a way to solve this problem - tongue twisters in English. They were invented not only for fun and not in order to break the language. No, to learn to "speak cleanly." Do you want to have a clear, correct and fast speech, like the English?

Tongue twisters in English can be both simple and complex, and long. But before you start saying everything, you should think: what sound would I like to master perfectly? Since all rhymes are individual. For example, they can be aimed at staging labial and nasal sounds, fricative and sonorous, as well as interdental. You will get a good result if you preliminarily read them aloud and repeat until noticeable progress in your speech. In addition, tongue twisters in English are easy to remember. And, after several readings, you will pronounce the "clean phrase" by heart. There are special audio courses that allow you to listen to each tongue twister. In addition to everything useful, you will give yourself a lot of pleasure with “hard-to-pronounce” phrases.

"I warned you: Do not open this book with tongue twisters"

Difficulties are different: for children and adults

Children are amused when they quickly pronounce words in English. They see it as a fun game, but not a tedious learning process. you should also pick up small tongue twisters, which can also be used as an addition to them. Also, do not force children to learn 3 pieces a day: two or three per month is better. But in this way you will ideally work out tongue twisters for English sounds.

Foreign tongue twisters will help you acquire the necessary speaking skills, expand vocabulary, catch the nuances of the sound of similar English words, and also help overcome the fear of pronouncing long sentences.

Translation of tongue twisters in English

Learned to quickly speak a rhyme, but you really want to know what meaning it hides? Many call it "a thankless task" and do not even advise to look there. Since a literal translation will not give anything, and some of the phrases practically do not contain any meaning. They represent a set of "beautiful-sounding words".

For example: chop shops stock chops

But some of them carry a certain value. Of course, when translating the same sounding tongue twister, it will not work. However, you will understand what these phrases are talking about. Finding the exact Russian equivalent is very difficult. Since each rhyme is a kind of "game" of foreign words.

Look: These thousand tricky tongue twisters trip thrillingly off the tongue.- Thousands of deft tongue twisters elude the tongue.

Therefore, we divided tongue twisters in English both with and without translation.

Rules for working with them

There is nothing complicated or new here. As in Russian, start with simple tongue twisters. Then gradually build up "sound" skills and complicate the program. You should remember that you first need to learn how to read each tongue talk correctly, carefully pronouncing each individual sound. And then, gradually increase the speed, starting at a slow pace. But, having said several times, do not throw the studied material into a distant box - repeat again and again. This is a great workout. Both before class, and delivering a speech or performance.

So are you ready get rid of the accent and achieve perfect pronunciation? Great, then keep it up! The best helpers in this will be tongue twisters, pronouncing which you simultaneously and have fun and improve. Every day your speech will approach the ideal.
