“Really leery rilly reeds reel in the rolling rills.”
9-word tongue twister · sound focus: r/l · difficulty: medium
How to say it
The r/l switch is the classic tongue-twister trap. Anchor your tongue tip to the roof of your mouth for r, then flick it down for l. Say it slowly five times before speeding up.
The five-times-fast test
A tongue twister isn't beaten until you can say it five times in a row without slowing down. Take a breath, start slow, and speed up on each pass. Use the mic practice mode to hear where you slur.
