‫Hello there, aisle seven students.
‫Welcome to your next lesson, which is, as you can see, tongue twisters, part two, advanced tongue
‫twisters.
‫So I'm sure we're going to get all mixed up, but it's great practice for your speaking pronunciation
‫and of course, English pronunciation, too.
‫So a student contacted me.
‫Thank you for the messages.
‫I try and pretty much every day get on and check all the Q&A, check your messages and get back to you
‫with questions.
‫Love hearing from you.
‫So please do drop me a message if there's anything you need.
‫As I always say, get in the Q&A section, but also for lesson requests.
‫I do try and update and add lessons that you ask for.
‫I am so asking for more tongue twisters.
‫And here we are.
‫So I've done some research and I found a few more tongue twisters slightly advanced, a bit more difficult
‫on a range of sound.
‫So practicing different sounds.
‫So without further ado, but before we do that disclaimer, if I do get twisted, if if my tongue gets
‫twisted, I apologize.
‫Bear with me.
‫It's all good practice.
‫Remember to say each of the tongue twisters slowly, clearly keep practicing and yeah, just keep practicing
‫them.
‫Concentrate on accuracy and pronunciation.
‫Clear pronunciation.
‫So let's move on to our first tongue twister, which focuses on V and L.
‫Now the V and L sounds for many different non native English speakers.
‫Val is really tricky, so this is a great one to practice and you can see an elephant.
‫Okay, so 77 benevolent elephants.
‫I'm trying to say this in rather formal English because I'm concentrating on clarity.
‫The difference between my normal pronunciation would be 77 benevolent elephants.
‫But when I say tongue twisters, I try to really say quite clearly and quite formally, 77 benevolent
‫elephants.
‫Quickly benevolent.
‫It's a really good piece of vocabulary.
‫It basically means to do good, but also having self belief and self confidence in doing good.
‫You can be a benevolent person, someone that does good.
‫77 benevolent elephants.
‫Okay, so you can listen back to my pronunciation, repeat after me, practice saying this and really
‫good for the V sound, especially number two.
‫Here we have L and R, So another focus on the L sounds, but also R two.
‫And we can see a warrior.
‫Now, this is a tricky one.
‫A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
‫There's actually a real focus on W here as well.
‫So it's l, w, and r.
‫Let's try and say this one again.
‫A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
‫It's almost tiring for the mouth to say that.
‫I'll say it one more time.
‫Listen carefully.
‫You can obviously play the video back and you practice this one, too.
‫I think this is a really good one for three sounds.
‫L.
‫R.
‫And w.
‫A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
‫Okay, on to number three.
‫I know that.
‫W but also the sound and this is quite a tricky one.
‫I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch.
‫I have to say that a little bit slower so that my mouth doesn't get mixed up.
‫My tongue gets twisted.
‫I don't know what an Irish wristwatch is, but we can just probably think of it as a normal wristwatch.
‫I see this one one more time.
‫I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch.
‫Set that a little bit faster there.
‫Have a go at that one.
‫That's another interesting tongue twister for pronunciation.
‫Next one is the three and for sound.
‫3000 spares were thrown at the stone.
‫I like the rhythm in that tongue twister.
‫Have a go at it.
‫And the last advanced tongue twister we have.
‫Probably not quite as hard as maybe number one, two or three, but still an interesting sound to practice.
‫That's good.
‫And you can see here we have gras.
‫We have grapes as the illustration.
‫Green grape cakes grow gracefully in Greece.
‫And one more time.
‫Green grape cakes grow gracefully in Greece.
‫Okay.
‫So this is obviously focusing on the sound, some more advanced tongue twisters for you there if you
‫do practice all of them through both set one and set two and you really work on them, It's definitely
‫going to help with your pronunciation for sure.
‫So I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
‫And as I said at the start of the lesson, drop me a message, whether it's just to say hello, whether
‫it's a lesson request or something else, do contact me.
‫I do check all your messages pretty much every day, but I try and get back to everyone, at least within
‫24 to 48 hours.
‫Okay.
‫So see you in the next lesson.
