Tongue twisters?

[terrysimons]

Hi,

I've been reciting some English tongue twisters to help fend off the local accent and keep my pronunciation crisp.

It occurred to me that this might be a good way for people to practice their Japanese pronunciation both with vowels and with intonation. I tried to do a few, but honestly I don't know if I'm doing it right.

I think this would be a really great lesson for people (especially those who are new to the language) to practice listening and speaking.

I found this site which has a few Japanese tongue twisters:

Does anyone else have a favorite Japanese tongue twister or know of another site which might be helpful?

I'd really love to see this end up in a lesson!

Thanks,

- Terry

P.S. I'm a premium member, if that helps my chances any.

I second this request.

This would be great in review track format.

the week before golden week will have tongue twister intros for every lesson and during golden week there will be a bonus track that features some of the outtakes from the recording. lol.

pretty difficult stuff actually. i'm really looking forward to them!
