LESSON 2
In order to improve pronunciation, learners may need to build up unused muscles
in their mouths and build the habit of making sounds correctly. Tongue twisters in
which difficult sounds are repeated or contrasted are the calisthenics of
pronunciation practice.

Directions: Choose the tongue twisters which practice the sounds you are working
on. Repeat them three to five times daily. Start saying them slowly and as your
pronunciation improves, say them more quickly.
