How to pronounce the English words clearly and correctly?

[Sunflower.baby]

Hi native speakers and all,

I used to join an one-month English class led by a native speaker. He often introduced some funny, short, and easy-to-remember sentences to improve English speaking skill and to pronounce the words clearly, but now I almost forgot everything.

It's really great if someone would know and list them out to introduce us.

Thank you very much....

It depends on the accent you want. One attractive option is the Midwest USA option. Our vowels are sort of a mixture of Spanish vowels and German/Scandinavian vowels:

U : oo
E: ee
A: A (the Spanish "e")
I: aii (the Spanish "ai", extended)
O: oh (there is no "eh" in "o"!)

We don't mess around with a vowel's true nature -- we do not round the vowels... we tend toward long, hard, straight vowel pronunciations.

Join our squad!

Seriously, best of luck in finding your accent of choice.

Now I realize what I've asked for is about Tongue Twisters... These are very difficult to pronounce, please see the following:

Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy was he?

The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore, I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?

A tutor who tooted the flute tried to tutor two tooters to toot. Said the two to their tutor: "Is it harder to toot, Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"


I bet there are more and more other Tongue Twisters... Could some native speakers record and share to me in particular and everybody in general?

I'm really appreciated your time.
