Si/Shi sounds

For the last lesson of the month, I am going to give you a few of my homemade tongue twisters for you to practice the difference between SI and SHI. In Japanese, there is no SI sound so many people often say SHI instead... which isn't correct English pronunciation.

Sally sipped sodas on Sunday.

Sally sipped 76 sweet & sour strawberry sodas.

She sipped her sodas while sailing her swift sailing ship until she was sick sick sick.

Shelly saw Sally sipping her sodas and said "Sally's silly!".

Ok I hope you enjoy your pronunciation practice, I'll post some more new lessons next month~!

Pronounciation...

Hey everyone, recently I came up with a few tricky phrases that can help Japanese people practice some difficult sounds.

"Shi"exists in Japanese but "si" does not, so many people have a hard time with the "si" sound.

These sentences might help you:

Six sick Santa Clauses sounded sad.

She shipped her sister a silver spoon by ship.

Then there is "work" pronounced "were-k(u)" and "walk" pronounced wa-k(u).

We worked while walking to work with Wally Walker who is always working wonders.
