TONGUE TWISTER

This week we learn about Phonology. Phonology is the study of the sound system of languages. It is a huge area of language theory and it is difficult to do more on a general language course than have outline knowledge of what it includes. Phonetics is the study of sounds made by human when they talk. Phonetic script is an international Phonetic Association (IPA). A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language which carries distinctive meaning. For more information, access:

Honestly, my pronunciation was very worse. I feel so happy during learn phonology. This is because I can improve my pronunciation. I can learn pronounce a word with a correct pronunciation. In this week, I and my group mates has a task that given by Madam Ira. We were asked to prepare a 3 minute mime (non-verbal communication) of a situation that we had chosen.  

Then, in this week also, we were asked to access information from internet for tongue twisters. A tongue twister is a phrase, sentence or rhyme that presents difficulties when spoken because it contains similar sounds. I found out that this tongue twister is very hard, especially when we say it in a faster way. Sometimes you can say it wrongly, and it is terrible if you say it wrongly. For this task, I had practiced very hard. 

This activity also was very fun. We all present it’s in the class. Every group will present the tongue twister that they had chosen. After the group present it’s, we all do the tongue twister together. At the same time, our lecturer corrects the pronunciation for every word that we pronounce it’s with the wrong ways. For more information about tongue twisters, access:
