Greetings, my dears! Today we will learn to speak beautifully and correctly. And for this we will resort to the help of tongue twisters for the development of speech and diction.
As you know, no one likes lisping and incomprehensible speech. It greatly spoils the impression of a person, especially if he is an adult and not a child. Therefore, it’s time to take care of yourself and your language. Tongue twisters are the fastest and most inexpensive way to improve the quality of your speech.
They will teach you not only to pronounce difficult sounds, but also to feel them. Moreover, to achieve a good speech therapy effect, it is enough to practice 10-20 minutes a day. First, read the tongue twister slowly, then with each reading try to increase the speed of its pronunciation. Don’t doubt, everything will work out for you!

This tongue twister is widely used by announcers, actors and people in professions for whom clear, intelligible speech is important. Liguria is a combination of more than 40 tongue twisters in one. Speech therapists advise first learning to read this verse at a fast pace. And only then start learning it by heart.

Tongue twisters for children's speech development
Tongue twisters should be taught from childhood. Memorizing them forms correct pronunciation and develops beautiful speech in the child. Many children's tongue twisters convey funny and cheerful stories, which means they can be learned while playing. Much attention should be paid to cues aimed at practicing “problem” sounds.

Tongue twisters for announcers
One of the basic skills that an announcer or radio host must have is good diction. With the help of tongue twisters, you can significantly improve the quality of pronunciation and make your speech clearer. Often, before broadcasting, announcers read tongue twisters, warming up their articulatory apparatus. Many TV and radio presenters use Liguria for training. Absolutely any tongue twisters known to everyone will be suitable as a warm-up before the broadcast.

Short tongue twisters
As mentioned earlier, it is better to start developing diction with the help of tongue twisters with short, simple phrases. At the initial stage, they may consist of one word, for example, “unpromising”, “repack”. Replies consisting of several words must be pronounced in one breath.

- The falcon sat on the naked trunk;
- The Christmas tree has pinched needles;
- Cannons were being lowered from the hills and rocks;

Clara doesn't have a clarinet, but she does have corals. Karl has a clarinet, but no corals. Queen Carlisle punished Clara for stealing corals from the dwarf Karl, and Clarik the king of Karl punished the one who stole the clarinet from the thief. If Karl had not stolen from Clara, Clara would not have stolen the corals, Clarik would have listened to his clarinet as he stole, and Karl gave the corals to Carlisle.

It's no secret that tongue twisters are used to train diction and pronunciation. This is the fastest and easiest way to improve the quality of your speech. If you systematically devote time to speaking tongue twisters, you can achieve good results. Speakers, actors, vocalists, and public speakers practice tongue twisters regularly. In general, devoting time to special exercises is useful for everyone who wants to achieve intelligible and expressive speech.
Tongue twisters with several sounds

What is the difference between a tongue twister and a tongue twister?
Initially there is no difference.
In Dahl's dictionary, a tongue twister is defined through a pure twister: “A tongue twister is a pure tongue twister, a type of folded speech, with the repetition and rearrangement of the same letters or syllables, which are confusing or difficult to pronounce.” Speak quickly - speak quickly, quickly.
Pure speech - speak clearly, without mistakes.
However, not so long ago a new genre appeared -
speech therapy pure tongues . Speech therapists needed exercises with many different combinations of difficult sounds, but there were no full-fledged words, much less meaningful phrases with such combinations (because they did not know about this “joke” site). Therefore, speech therapists began to use simply sets of letters in their work. For example: “ptky, ptke, ptka, ptko, ptku, ptky, ptke, ptkya, ptkyo, ptkyu.” Speech therapy phrases are great for helping develop speech, but they don’t make sense at all.

How to improve speech and diction using tongue twisters?
Tongue twisters, which, as they say, “can break your tongue,” are an excellent exercise for developing diction and other vocal skills. Pronouncing them is useful not only for children in order to pronounce sounds correctly, but also for professional actors, announcers, TV presenters and anyone who would like to speak beautifully and clearly.
This is an effective method of developing diction, getting rid of tongue-tied speech, speaking too fast or, on the contrary, slow.
The correct technique for pronouncing a tongue twister is as follows: first, the tongue twister is pronounced clearly and slowly, and later, constantly increasing the pace and repeating the same thing many times as clearly and separately as possible.
Tongue twisters, which, as they say, “can break your tongue,” are an excellent exercise for developing diction and other vocal skills
What is diction and why is it needed?
Diction is the basis of speech technique and includes several indicators without which beautiful pronunciation is impossible: clear articulation, manner, correctness. In the first case, the accuracy of pronunciation of speech sounds is important. If the articulation is unclear, it is difficult to understand the interlocutor, and speech becomes slurred. They say about such people “porridge in the mouth.” The vagueness is mainly associated with the weak functioning of the articulatory apparatus.
Correct articulation lies in the correct movement of the speech organs involved in the formation of sounds. If the tongue, teeth, lips are in the wrong position when pronouncing, a speech defect occurs, which is treated by a speech therapist. Checking and identifying violations of the articulatory apparatus should be carried out in preschool age, when it is easier to obtain a quick and effective result.
The manner of pronunciation includes reduction of syllables (simplification), pace, emotional coloring of speech, and the presence of shortcomings. The latter include:
- ekanye - when a person often uses parasitic sounds in speech instead of a silent pause: m, e, etc., which is noticeable and irritates the interlocutor;
- noise sighs - in the ethics of speech it is not customary to take deep breaths before starting or ending a sentence;
- the use of parasitic words - when, due to the paucity of vocabulary or banal habit, a person often uses parasitic statements between words: this is, as it were, shorter, etc.;
- prolongation of vowel sounds when a person tries to remember something or mentally constructs the next sentence;
- nasalization is a vulgar feature of speech, when in a conversation the last vowels in a word are pronounced nasally;
- smacking.
The listed shortcomings do not decorate any person. It is important to teach a child to speak correctly from an early age, because basic parasitic words and speech habits appear in childhood and continue into adulthood.
Foreign tongue twisters
The benefits of tongue twisters in a foreign language are obvious. With their help, pronunciation is improved. The words in English tongue twisters are chosen in such a way as to speak not only quickly and clearly, but also with the correct accent. This is a great addition for language learning. Working on such tongue twisters is necessary not only for people learning a foreign language, but also for those who speak it at a good level and speak to the public at international conferences and symposiums. Tongue twisters exist in different foreign languages.
- English tongue twisters:
“Betty Botta bought some butter, “But, she said, this butter's bitter, But a bit of better butter will make my batter better.” So, she bought a bit of butter better than the bitter butter, And it made her batter better. So, it was Betty Botta’s batter bought a bit of better butter.”
***
“How many cans can a cannibal nibble if a cannibal can nibble cans? As many cans as a cannibal can nibble if a cannibal can nibble cans.”
- Spanish tongue twisters:
Pancha plancha con cuatro planchas. Con cuantas planchas Pancha plancha? (Pancho irons with four irons. How many irons does Pancho iron with?)
***
Del pelo al codo y del codo al pelo, del codo al pelo y del pelo al codo. (From hair to elbow and from elbow to hair, from elbow to hair and from hair to elbow).
Tips for successfully developing diction
When a person studies with a professional, it is easier to improve diction than when working independently. Speech therapists give advice on how to make home learning interesting, useful, and effective.
- Conduct classes every day. Daily work on powerful exercises allows you to improve your diction in a few weeks.
- Allow 15-30 minutes a day for speech gymnastics, depending on age.
- When teaching diction, it is customary to record speech on a voice recorder and listen to it afterwards to mark achievements.
- You need to perform exercises according to the principle from simple to complex.
- In addition to classes, it is necessary to read fiction to enrich your vocabulary.
In this way, you can achieve a significant improvement in diction. A beautiful and well-placed voice makes it possible to influence people’s opinions in communication, increase status, and makes the conversation easy and relaxed, unburdened.
