The biography of Giuseppe Verdi is very short. Brief biography of Giuseppe Verdi

Hello, friends! You need to be able to speak not only correctly, but also quickly. We all remember many tongue twisters in our native language from childhood. But there are not only Russians, but also English tongue twisters. In this lesson I suggest you learn how to use English tongue twisters which are good as for children and adults.

We bring to your attention tongue twisters of different difficulty levels, as well as grammatical tongue twisters, which will help you more easily remember some grammatical structures of the English language.

How to work with tongue twisters?

You need to start, of course, with the simplest tongue twisters. First you need to learn to read them slowly but correctly. Read them in a circle, gradually increasing the speed of pronunciation. The longer you practice each tongue twister, the better and clearer your English diction will be. Another advantage of tongue twisters is that you get used to the fact that English speech is fast. At first, you push yourself to “speak quickly” faster, then the tongue twister itself pushes you (when you learn it unnoticed by yourself). The more tongue twisters you have (or your students have), the better. After all, it is not necessary to study tongue twisters only in class. If during the day some tongue twister comes to your mind, repeat it, because in this way you will be practicing English without noticing it, easily and naturally.

What are tongue twisters in English?

Day after day, we encounter a foreign language and we have to study its phonetic features. Sometimes quite complex elements require a lot of time to master. However, there is a way to solve this problem - tongue twisters in English. They were not invented just for fun and not to break the language. No, to learn to “speak clearly.” Do you want to have clear, correct and fast speech, like the British?

Tongue twisters in English can be simple, complex, or long. But before you start saying everything, you should think: what sound would I like to master perfectly? Because all rhymes are individual. For example, they can be aimed at producing labial and nasal sounds, fricatives and sonorants, as well as interdental sounds. You will get a good result if you first read them out loud and repeat them until you notice noticeable progress in your speech. In addition, tongue twisters in English are easy to remember. And, after just a few readings, you will recite the “pure saying” by heart. There are special audio courses that allow you to listen to each tongue twister. In addition to all the useful things, you will give yourself a lot of pleasure with “hard to pronounce” phrases.

“I warned you: don’t open this book on tongue twisters.”

Different difficult words: for children and adults

Children have fun when they quickly pronounce words in English. They find it a fun game, but not a boring learning process. you should also select small tongue twisters, which can also be used as an addition to them. Also, you should not force children to learn 3 pieces a day: two or three per month is better. But this way you will perfectly practice tongue twisters using 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 will also help overcome the fear of pronouncing long sentences.

Translation of tongue twisters in English

Have you learned how to quickly say a rhyme, but you really want to know what meaning it hides? Many people call this a “thankless task” and do not even advise looking 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 “nice-sounding words.”

For example: Chop shops stock chops

But some of them have a certain meaning. Of course, translating the same-sounding tongue twister will not work. However, you will understand what these phrases mean. Finding an 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 clever tongue twisters escape the tongue.

Therefore, we have 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. Next, gradually build up your “sound” skills and complicate the program. You should remember that you first need to learn how to read each pure phrase correctly, carefully pronouncing each individual sound. And then gradually increase the speed, starting at a slow pace. But, having said it several times, do not throw the studied material into a distant drawer - repeat it again and again. This is a great warm up. Both before class and giving a speech or performance.

So are you ready get rid of the accent and achieve perfect pronunciation? Great, then go for it! Your best helpers in this will be tongue twisters, by pronouncing which you simultaneously and have fun and improve. Every day your speech will get closer to ideal.

Hello my dear readers.

We all know very well that the sounds of English speech sometimes differ from Russian and do not always find analogues. And the problem of pronouncing certain sounds is faced not only by small children, for whom this is almost normal, but also by many adults who...

In connection with such an urgent problem, I have prepared a special lesson for you: tongue twisters in English. Tongue twisters for practicing sounds are waiting for you - with pronunciation and translation into Russian. At the end I added another interesting video on the topic).

Let's practice

I have no doubt that the most problematic sound for both children and adults is the interdental sound "th" . I have prepared for you several tongue twisters for interdental sounds with audio.

The second most popular group of sounds is whistling sounds. "s" . But I won’t leave you here either. Here are simple and short phrases for you.

It is equally important to use sound correctly "sh" . Catch easy-to-learn tongue twisters.

Quite problematic sounds sometimes become "f" And "w" . But don't worry, I took care of them too.

And last but not least the sound "j". It would seem that there should be no problems with it, but it still happens. So here are short and easy sentences for you.

Tongue twisters for children in video

Tongue twisters for adults and children in the video:

How to develop speech using tongue twisters

And now I want to tell you how best to work with English tongue twisters in order to achieve the effect in the shortest possible time.

• Divide the tongue twisters into sounds.

It sounds strange, of course, but it is true. Don't try to cover something that immediately causes a set of problems. Go in order. If you have problems with sound – th, then start with tongue twisters for this sound. Then, having mastered one, move on to the next group.

• Read the tongue twister carefully.

You shouldn’t immediately try to “shoot” everything that is there like a meteor. Will not work.

• Analyze each word: its meaning and sound.

This is not the most necessary part of preparation, but if you are already learning, why not memorize new vocabulary?

• And just now try to slowly read the entire tongue twister out loud.

Read the tongue twister slowly and confidently until you read it without a single mistake.

• Gradually increase your speaking rate.

And only now, when you have gone through all the stages, can you try to increase the pace of your speech and pronounce it as quickly as possible each time. But the important point here is that it is gradual.

Well, my dears, have you already tasted each tongue twister?)

And now more tongue twisters as well as live English speech from the lips of two cheerful young people in this video:

I am sure that you are obedient students. If you want to receive even more information that will help you quickly and effectively improve your English, then subscribe to my blog newsletter. Before you know it, your English will completely change in a couple of months.

In the meantime, I say goodbye.

Until we meet again, my dears.

Poems

To sit in solemn silence in a dull dark dock
In a pestilential prison with a life long lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block.

The bottle of perfume that Willy sent
Was highly displeasing to Millicent.
Her thanks were so cold
That they quarreled, I"m told
O"er that silly scent Willy sent Millicent

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted "cause the index doesn"t hash,
Then your situation"s hopeless, and your system"s gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
"Cause as sure as I"m a poet, the sucker"s gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy"s getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
Then you have to flash your memory and you"ll want to ram your rom.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

There was a young man called Fisher
Who was fishing for fish in a fissure.
Then a code with a grin
Pulled the fisherman in.
Now they"re searching the fissure for Fisher.
