Pengucapan dalam Bahasa Inggris memang harus di latih dan di pratekan dengan rutin, seperti kata light, night, dan tonight. Pengucapannya berbeda tapi sepintas sama. Nah untuk memudahkannya di tempat les saya, kami biasa bermain permainan Tongue Twister.
Tongue Twister merupakan permainan kata dengan pengucapan frase yang secara sengaja dibentuk dari kata-kata tertentu agar sulit di-artikulasikan atau diucapkan. Jika kamu salah mengucapkan kata-kata dalam kalimat ini biasanya menghasilkan kalimat yang lucu atau justru lidah-mu seperti terbelit.
Tongue twister bisa jadi cara seru buat melatih dan meningkatkan pengucapan kata dalam bahasa Inggris. Ini juga dapat membantumu meningkatkan aksen melalui alliteration atau pengulangan pada satu bunyi. Permainan ini nggak cuma buat anak-anak tapi juga banyak digunakan oleh para aktor, politikus dan public speaker dalam melatih kejelasan berbicara bahasa Inggris.
Permainan ini biasanya di sajikan dengan irama alias bernyanyi... Berikut beberapa kalimat yang sudah pernah di mainkan di kelas bahasa Inggris saya : (untuk irama bisa searching di Youtube)
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
She Sells
She Sells Sea-Shells
She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
The shells she sells are sea-shells, I’m sure.
For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore
Then I’m sure she sells sea-shore shells.
Woodchuck
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Nigh light
You’ve no need to light a night-light on a light night like tonight?
For a night-light’s light’s a slight light, and tonight’s a night that’s light.
When a night’s light, like tonight’s light,
It is really not quite right,
To light night-lights with their slight lights,
On a light night like tonight.
Bitter butter
Betty brought a bar of butter,
but the butter Betty bought was bitter,
so Betty beat a bit of butter to make the bitter butter better.
I Wish
I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish,
but if you wish to wish the witch wishes,
I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.
Skunk
A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk,
but the stump thunk the skunk stunk
If you must cross a course cross,
Cow across a crowded cow crossing,
Cross the cross coarse cow across,
The crowded cow crossing carefully.

Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
