INFO:

早口言葉（はやくちことばu002Fhayakuchi kotoba) or Japanese tongue twisters can be a challenging yet fun way to practice our pronunciation. It doesn’t provide us with a lot of time to focus on pitch-accent patterns, but it does get us focusing on vowel and consonant sounds, and getting a good rhythm! Because spoken Japanese is so different from spoken English (English is stress-timed and Japanese is mora-timed), getting the rhythm correct can be a challenge for fluent English speakers. Practicing 早口言葉（はやくちことばu002Fhayakuchi kotoba) can really help with this. ▶️ Try it with me!
