British Pronunciation Tips 

British Vowel Sound Masterclass: Lesson 8: The E - Practice 

Today, let's try practicing some Russian tongue twisters! Tongue twisters are a fantastic tool for improving your pronunciation, focusing on challenging sounds, and increasing your speech speed, ultimately making it clearer.
Give it a shot and try repeating after me. I'll read each one twice: first slowly, and then closer to normal speed.

бык тупогУб, тупогУбенький бычОк, у быкА белА губА былА тупА. (б,п) 

Карл у КлАры укрАл корАллы, а КлАра у КАрла укрАла кларнЕт. (к,р,л)

на мелИ мы налИма ленИво ловИли, менЯли налИма вы мне на линЯ. о любвИ не менЯ ли вы мИло молИли, и в тумАны ЛимАна манИли менЯ. (л,м,н)

These tongue twisters focus on various Russian sounds. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible. Let's focus on accuracy rather than speed. Good luck!

بِلَادْ الشَام هيَ أَرْبَعَة دُوَلْ, سوريا و الأُرْدُن و فِلِسْطِين ولُبْنَان.
مِن نَاحِيَة المَسَاحَة سوريا أَكْبَر شَي, بَعْدَين الأُرْدُن وبَعْدَهَا فْلِسْطِينْ وأَصْغَر شِي لُبْنَان.
الأُرْدُن فِي الجَنُوب وفِيهَا البَحْر المَيِّت, أَغْلَب سُكَّانْهَا مِن فِلِسْطِين وأَهَلْهَا إِسْمَهُم النَشَامَى.
لُبْنَان فِي الغَرْب و جُزْء كَبِير مِنْهَا سَاحِل, كَمَان فِيهَا جِبَال وطَبِيعَتْهَا جَمِيلَة.
فِلْسِطِين كَمَان فِي الغَرْب وأَغْلَب مُدُنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل. فِيهَا أَولْ القِبْلَتَين (المَسْجِد الأَقْصَى).
سُورْيَا فِي الشَمَال وجُزْء صَغِير مِنْهَا عَلَى السَاحِل بس كَمَان يَمُر خِلَالْهَا نَهْر الفُرَات ودِجْلَة. طَبَعًا عَاصِمَتْهَا دِمَشْق أَقْدَم عَاصِمَة بِالتَارِيخ.
