The longest and most complex tongue twisters are designed to work on 3-5 complex sounds at once.

Articulation gymnastics
Articulation teaches you how to position your tongue and lips correctly and direct the air flow. Gymnastics prepares the articulatory apparatus for pronouncing complex tongue twisters.
You need to exercise daily for 3-5 minutes. Perform exercises while sitting, back straight, muscles relaxed. Carry out gymnastics in front of a mirror to control the correctness of the exercises. Perform each exercise until the facial muscles are slightly tense.
Basic exercises:
- Smile widely, expose your upper and lower teeth, hold the position for 10 seconds.
- Pull your lips forward, blowing on the invisible fluff.
- Alternate the first and second exercises at a fast and slow pace. The lower jaw should remain motionless.
- Open and close your mouth in a wide smile.
- Smile, open your mouth slightly, put your wide tongue on your lower lip.
- Open your mouth, stick out your tongue, stretch out the tip - the tongue becomes narrow.
- Alternate wide and narrow tongue at a slow and fast pace.
- Raise the tip of the tongue by the upper front teeth.
- Fix the tongue behind the lower front teeth.
- Move your tongue up and down and hold it behind your upper and lower teeth for 2 seconds.
- Lower the tip of your tongue and move it deeper into your mouth. Alternately bring the tongue closer to the right and left front incisors.
Such gymnastics is the best practice for mastering the basic correct positions of the lips and tongue.
Articulation exercises
Tongue twisters are aimed at improving the pronunciation of consonant sounds. But learning to speak tongue twisters correctly is impossible without knowing the basics of articulation of vowel sounds. These rules will teach you to pronounce sounds clearly, which will make it easier to pronounce complex sound combinations in difficult words.
Rules for the articulation of vowel sounds:
- The sound "a". Open your mouth in the form of a wide ring, place 2 fingers folded on top of each other between your teeth. Cover the lower teeth with your lip, the upper teeth are open. Inhale - hold your breath - while exhaling, make a sound very quietly.
- The "u" sound. Pull your lips forward with your proboscis. As you exhale, pronounce the sound for as long as possible.
- The "o" sound. The lips are folded into a ring, slightly extended forward and stretched. Place your thumb between your teeth. The air should pass into the gap between the teeth and not rest against the palate and teeth.
- The sound is "y". Place the little finger between the teeth, the lips are stretched, the lower jaw is slightly pushed forward. Air passes clearly between the teeth.
- The "i" sound. Place the tip of your little finger between your teeth. As you exhale, make a sound. The air must pass clearly between the teeth, otherwise whistling will be heard.
How to practice
In order for the results of the training to be noticeable, the following rules must be followed:
- recite tongue twisters regularly - daily 2-5 times for 10 minutes;
- reminders – print out 3–5 tongue twisters on a sheet of paper, hang them in visible places;
- changes - tongue twisters should be changed every 10 days to prevent the articulation apparatus from becoming accustomed.
You should not immediately try to pronounce the tongue twister quickly. You need to pronounce each word slowly and rhythmically, to understand the meaning of the difficult phrase. Increase the pace gradually, trying to pronounce the phrase in one breath. Pay special attention to the clear pronunciation of endings - activate consonant sounds, not make them heavier.
Before starting classes, do a light warm-up. Say the sound “g” and “k” three times. Then, with your mouth half open, pronounce the vowels “a”, “o”, “e” - each sound 3 times. Rinse your mouth with air to relax your muscles.
A mirror and a voice recorder will help you improve your diction. You should silently pronounce the tongue twister in front of the mirror, watching your articulation. Then pronounce the difficult phrase in a whisper, while all sounds should be understandable and audible.
Each lesson must be recorded with a voice recorder. This will allow you to hear how your diction is improving and what points to pay attention to.
In the future, you need to pronounce tongue twisters while moving - dancing, squatting. This will help diversify your classes and teach you to maintain pace and breathing.
How to read tongue twisters correctly to become an announcer
To learn to speak quickly, you first need to learn to speak clearly and slowly. When familiarizing yourself with a tongue twister, you need to repeat the most difficult words several times - you need to make them sound easy and free.
It is senseless to pronounce a difficult phrase incorrectly syllable by syllable - this complicates speech and makes it unnatural. Each phrase must be pronounced at 2–3 tempos. Speakers with slow speech need to pronounce tongue twisters slowly, quickly and very quickly. When speaking at a fast pace, you need to pronounce phrases slowly and quickly.
At the initial stage, pronounce vowel sounds quietly, consonants – clearly and loudly. Gradually, you need to increase the sound volume and read the tongue twister at full strength. At the same time, tilt your head from side to side, move your tongue towards your lips - this exercise gives the effect of quiet vowel sounds. You can pronounce a tongue twister through your nose pinched with your fingers - this improves diction.
Lessons begin with monosyllabic, short tongue twisters, gradually moving on to long and complex tongue twisters.
From the stomping, from the stomping, from the stomping,
From the tramp of hooves, from the tramp of hooves, from the tramp of hooves,
Dust on the field, dust on the field, dust on the field,
Dust flies across the field, dust flies across the field, dust flies across the field.
From the clatter of hooves, dust flies across the field,
Dust flies across the field from the clatter of hooves.
The first part, the length of a tongue twister, should be pronounced semi-singingly, gradually raising the tone of the voice to the highest point. The second part is pronounced in a lower pitch - from the highest tonality to the lowest. At the end, in a medium tone, say the last 2 lines of the tongue twister again.
Tongue twisters can be combined and complex and long semantic combinations can be made from them. A tongue twister describes an action or event. The task of a novice speaker is to convey the essence of the tongue twister.

Take this issue seriously, because you want to be able to speak in a uniform tone, without random high notes, quiet endings and other defects. One of the most convenient methods of improving speech is working with complex tongue twisters.

And in order to achieve better results when working with pure tongues, perform a few basic exercises:
- Firstly, try to slowly say every word from the rhyme. Under no circumstances should you try to pronounce it quickly from the very beginning. Such actions only worsen the functioning of the speech apparatus. It’s better to pronounce it syllable by syllable to remember the correct pronunciation of the tongue twister. In real life, we strive to talk slowly, confidently and not too harshly.
The next step is articulation. When you begin to pronounce all the sounds from the tongue twister clearly, focus on articulation. It will be better if someone nearby reads the poem over your lips several times.
Then say the phrase in a whisper. Remember, whispering and hissing are two different things. All sounds must be heard clearly.
The final touch is to try saying the memorized text in a different manner. Now you can say everything at a fast pace, and even sing (this is optional).
This method of improving diction can be changed and adjusted to suit you. It's better to do this in the company of friends. And before starting the training, show them this publication to tune in to the same wavelength.
