Hi everybody, I am Georgiana, your English teacher and founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com.
My mission is to help you to speak English fluently.
Speaking English is way easier than it seems.
You just have to use the right material and techniques.
In this episode you will learn some new tongue twisters in English to help you with your English pronunciation.
And with a mini story, you will improve your fluency.
A mini story is very simple, but very powerful.
I ask easy questions on purpose. so that you can simulate a conversation.
It's like talking with another person in English.
Before we get started, go to my website, speakenglishpodcast.com, to get the transcript.
It's free.
Okay, let's start.
So, do you remember what a tongue twister is?
It can be a difficult phrase that we say quickly, usually because of a sequence of almost similar sounds.
For example, Peter Piper picked a pickle of pickled peppers.
Many people use tongue twisters to speak clearly, including actors, politicians, etc.
These allow you to practice pronunciation and agility when it comes to producing sounds in English.
So today we're going to practice English pronunciation with new tongue twisters.
Are you ready?
Let's go!
I will start saying each tongue twister slowly, and then I'll go faster.
At first, it may seem difficult.
So make sure you have the text in front of you to be able to follow it better.
