Ok, let\\u2019s start!

Last week we started this accent reduction exercise by focusing on the S sound with the help of some fun tongue twisters.

So, let\\u2019s remember the\\xa0tongue twisters\\xa0we used last week to help you improve your English pronunciation.

I will go fast, but if you want to practice them, you can do so by listening to the previous episode on my website.

Listen and repeat:

#1 I saw Esau kissing Kate. I saw Esau, he saw me, and she saw I saw Esau.

#2 Santa\\u2019s Short Suit Shrunk.

#3 You cuss, I cuss, we all cuss for asparagus.

#4 Thin sticks, thick bricks.
#5 Systematically assisting Sisyphus\\u2019s stealthy cyst-susceptible sister.\\xa0

I hope you\\u2019re having fun.\\xa0

Let\\u2019s practice\\xa0with new\\xa0tongue twisters.

Are you ready? Let\\u2019s go!

I will start saying each\\xa0tongue twister\\xa0slowly, and then I will go faster.

At first, they may seem very difficult, so make sure you have the text in front of you to be able to follow it better.

Ok. So, I will say it very slowly:

1. She saw Sharif\\u2019s shoes on the sofa. But was she so sure those were Sharif\\u2019s shoes she saw?

Now I will say it faster.

She saw Sharif\\u2019s shoes on the sofa. But was she so sure those were Sharif\\u2019s shoes she saw?

Ok. Even faster!

She saw Sharif\\u2019s shoes on the sofa. But was she so sure those were Sharif\\u2019s shoes she saw?

Let\\u2019s continue!

2) The chic Sikh\\u2019s sixty-sixth sheep is sick.

Let\\u2019s say it faster!

The chic Sikh\\u2019s sixty-sixth sheep is sick.

Even faster!

The chic Sikh\\u2019s sixty-sixth sheep is sick.

3) There\\u2019s a pessimistic pest amidst us.

Ok. Say it faster!

There\\u2019s a pessimistic pest amidst us.

Even faster!

4) Which witch switched the Swiss wristwatches?

Say it faster!

Which witch switched the Swiss wristwatches?

Can you say it faster?

5) She sells seashells by the seashore.

Let\\u2019s say it faster!

She sells seashells by the seashore.

Even faster!

She sells seashells by the seashore.

Well, that\\u2019s all for now; I hope you had fun practicing your English pronunciation, and you didn\\u2019t get tongue-tied like Smith. We\\u2019ll see what happened to him and why he was crowned king.\\xa0
