Exercise 5-8: Hold Your Tongue!     CD 3 Track 33 

You and I are going to read with ourtongues firmly held at the roofs of our mouths. If you want, hold a clean dime¹ there with the tongue's tip; the dime will let you know when you have dropped your tongue because it will fall out. (Do not use candy; it will hold itself there since wet candy is sticky.) If you prefer, you can read with your tongue between your teeth instead of the standard behind-the-teeth position, and use a small mirror. Remember that with this technique you can actually see your tongue disappear as you hear your L sounds drop off.

It's going to sound ridiculous, ofcourse, and nobody would ever intentionally² sound like this, but no one will hear you practice. You don't want tosound like this: lllllllllll.Force your tongue to make all the various vowels³ inspite of its position. Let's go.

Leave a little for Lola!
