Failing at tongue twisters | Native Speaker CAN'T Do It!!

hey what's up Stefanie the English coach here  from englishfulltime.com in this video I'm gonna  

do tongue twisters and I think this should be  really fun so you will get to see how good or  

bad I am at doing these you can practice with me  you can try them with me I think it'll be a ton of  

fun I made a video last week where I talked about  why I do not teach tongue twisters to my students  

or recommend them for pronunciation practice and  I explained why and so now I'm making this video  

no this video is to just have some fun with them  as I said I think they're great for having fun for  

loosening up and just enjoying failing I guess get  you if you want to get good at failing and be able  

to take it like a champ do tongue twisters  that is my best advice ever okay anyways so  

if you're new to my channel welcome what an  awkward video to get to know me on but I am  

Stefanie and I make videos content and courses  for intermediate and advanced language learners  

okay so let's get started the first one is very  easy for me because this is one I think this was  

the first tongue twister I ever learned and I  remember one of my older sisters teaching us and  

we thought it was so funny I was probably four or  five years old here we go fuzzy wuzzy was a bear  

fuzzy wuzzy had no hair fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fuzzy  was he so yeah that a round of applause round  

of applause thank you thank you thank you very  much like I said that one's easy for me because  

I've been doing it all my life and there's  nothing to me at least about the consonants  

or the vowel sounds that makes it difficult it's  just like repetition fuzzy wuzzy fuzzy wuzzy was  

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

you're asking that question at the end was he  okay moving on this is one that I remember from  

my acting classes way back in the day I did some  acting classes I performed on stage I did some of  

that but anyways this one is red leather yellow  leather okay and I'm just gonna say it and try  

to keep saying it and we'll see if I mess up red  leather yellow leather red leather yellow leather  

red leather yellow leather red leather yellow  leather red leather yellow leather red leather  

yellow leather okay I guess I could do that one  okay I think the trick with the tongue twisters  

is you really got to imagine what you're saying  and focus and remember because if not your tongue  

just sort of like jumps off a cliff and yeah so  anyways that one I've been doing that one for a  

while too not that hard some of these later on  you'll see they're harder for me because I've  

never seen them before this one is next unique New  York New York unique so let's try that unique New  

York you nork no I already messed up okay unique  New York New York unique unique New York New York  

unique unique New York yew nork you what is yew  nork please somebody tell me in the comments what  

is yew nork oh my goodness okay unique New York  New York unique unique New York New York unique  

New Yeek New Yeek New Yeek what I've never said  yeek in my life what is that that sounds like  

a different language yeek oh my goodness I told  you this would be fun I told you okay maybe I  

should move on I'm personally having a lot of fun  with that one but I will move on the next one is  

the lips the teeth okay you have to visualize  this the lips the teeth the tip of the tongue  

the lips the teeth the tip of the tongue and  then we go backwards the tip of the tongue the  

teeth the lips so it's like going into your mouth  the lips the teeth the tip of the tongue and then  

the tip of the tongue the teeth the lips okay  that helps me so much visualizing instead of  

trying to memorize the words visualize what you're  communicating and then it makes tongue twisters at  

least a little bit easier so the lips the teeth  the tip of the tongue the tip of the tongue the  

teeth the lips the lips the teeth the tip of the  tongue the tip of the tongue the lips the teeth  

oops no that's I said that wrong the teeth the  lips wait what okay the lips the teeth the tip  

of the tongue the tip of the tongue the teeth  the lips okay so I have to visualize like going  

into the mouth and coming out of it okay the  lips the teeth the tip of the tongue the tip  

of the tongue the teeth the lips okay again  the tip the what the lips the teeth the tip  

of the tongue the tip of the tongue the teeth the  lips the lips the teeth the tip of the tongue the  

tip of the tongue the teeth the lips okay there I  got it 10 out of 10. a plus okay oh this one's fun  

this one's fun for like long words but it's not  to me it doesn't like tie up my tongue at all I  

you know knock on wood it didn't when I used  to do it she stood on the balcony inexplicably  

mimicking him hiccupping and amicably welcoming  him in okay she stood on the balcony inexplicably  

mimicking him hiccupping and amicably welcoming  him in again she stood on the balcony inexplicably  

just kidding okay she stood on the balcony  inexplicably mimicking him hiccupping and  

amicably welcoming him in she stood on the balcony  inexplicably mimicking him hiccupping and amicably  

welcoming him in this is really fun when you do  it with like a group of 10 or 20 people that's  

what we would do for like acting warm-ups  and stuff and everybody's saying the same  

thing it's just it's fun right okay not great  pronunciation practice as you know because of
