English As A Second Language with HRM English in Bangladesh
Marianne is committed to the improvement of literacy not just in her own country, of the United States, but also with those eager to learn, half a world away, in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is a Republic in South Asia, north of the Bay of Bengal. They are a member of The Commonwealth of Nations. The capital is the city of Dhaka.
Marianne helps to support this learning through sharing Tongue Twisters. These are a great way to practice and improve pronunciation and fluency. They can also help to improve accents by using alliteration, which is the repetition of one sound. They’re not just for kids, but are also used by actors, politicians, and public speakers who want to sound clear when speaking. Below, you will find some of the most popular English tongue twisters. Say them as quickly as you can. If you can master them, you will be a much more confident speaker.
