The secret to saying tongue twisters!
Many people who speak in public worry about how to pronounce long, unfamiliar words or other words in a phrase when they have similar sounds, called tongue-twisters.
Tongue twisters come in many languages. American English ones, Russian ones, German ones, Spanish ones and ones in many other languages.
The secret to saying tongue twisters is to practice them 3 times very slowly, without using your voice. Just move your lips, tongue and jaw slowly while you think about the movements you are making.
Let's use Business Speech Improvement's slogan as an example. We are a "one stop speech spot". Say that 3 times very slowly, without using your voice.
Think about the "st" in "stop" coming before the "sp" in "spot".
Then try the slogan three times fast!
Then, whenever you get a single difficult word to pronounce, or a difficult phrase, try this method: 3 times slowly and then 3 times fast. It's easy!
