1. Consonant sounds and phonemic symbols.
Phonemic symbols are a useful way of representing sounds and the pronunciation of words. Phonemic transcriptions of words often appear in dictionaries. Check that you know which sounds these symbols represent. Drag the words to the correct column according to the pronunciation of the underlined part of each word.
3. Tongue twisters.
A tongue twister is a phrase that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly when said quickly. They are usually used as a type of word game, often aimed at producing humorous slips of the tongue. Tongue twisters can also be used to practise the "mechanics" of quickly producing different sounds. Probably one of the most famous tongue twisters is this one:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Listen to the tongue twister.
Some common phrases are also challenging to say quickly and clearly; for example, World Wide Web.
Listen to the tongue twisters and put the words in order.
Listen and repeat the sentences. If possible, record the sentences on your computer and compare them with the originals.
