Hi! I'm Kalyn and I help you speak English confidently, without copying an accent.

“Said the two to the tutor,
‘Is it harder to toot, or to tutor two tooters to toot?’”
Link the words together:
“said the” → “said-thə”
“to the” → “təthə”
“or to” → “or tə”

“A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.”

Link the words together:
“tooted the” → “tooted-thə”
“tried to” → “triedtə”
“to tutor” → “tə tutor”
Let the rhythm flow.

If your English sounds flat, this challenge is for you.

“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.”
Let the rhythm carry the sentence and keep the small words light and quick.

Can you keep the rhythm natural while saying this 3 times fast?
“How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”

Don’t stress every word.

If your English sounds choppy, this challenge is for you.

“If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”

Focus on stress and linking

Link the words together:
“picked a” → “pickta”
“peck of” → “peckəv”

[Kalyn @KalynsEnglish]

If your English sounds choppy, this challenge is for you. “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers; A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.”

“Twelve quick queens and dwarves twist twice”

Focus on the rounded lip transitions:

T → W
D → W
K → W

Move directly into the W sound without adding a vowel.

If you struggle with ending sounds in English, this challenge is for you.

“Worlds twirled while girls hurled pearls, curls and swirls”

Focus on the RL cluster: R → L

Most English students either drop the L or add an extra vowel between the sounds.

[Kalyn @KalynsEnglish]

If you’re simplifying words like “folk” or “walk,” this challenge is for you.

“Folks talk, balk and stalk hulks”

Focus on the LK cluster.
Keep the L → K movement clear all the way through each word.

Note: “balk” is pronounced “bawk” and rhymes with “walk”.

[Kalyn @KalynsEnglish]

If you’re dropping sounds at the ends of words, this challenge is for you.

Can you say this 3 times fast?

“Gramps in the camps with swamps, clumps and lumps”

Focus on the MPS cluster:

Can you say this 3 times fast without dropping the final T or S?

Students confront giants, tents and plants.

Reply with the word you found hardest.

Now people have something to do.

[Kalyn @KalynsEnglish]

Most English students drop sounds at the ends of words.

“Guests tests stress hosts lists”

Focus on the final STS cluster:
Don’t drop any consonants and don’t add extra vowel sounds.
