• Keep a Word List: Write down new words you find learn their meanings and use them in sentences.
• Know Your Audience: Use simple words if your listeners might not understand harder ones.

3. Think Before You Speak

Take a moment to organize your thoughts before talking:

• Pause if you’re unsure—silence is better than rushing and making mistakes.
• Say tricky words in your mind first to make sure you pronounce them right.

How you say something is just as important as what you say:

• End questions with a slightly higher pitch.
• Make statements sound final by lowering your pitch at the end.

5. Practice Tongue Twisters

Tongue twisters are fun and help you speak clearly:

• Work on sounds you find hard. For example:
  • B Sounds: “Bill had a billboard. Bill also had a board bill…”
  • D Sounds: “Did Doug dig David’s garden, or did David dig Doug’s garden?”
  • F Sounds: “Four furious friends fought for the phone.”

6. Repeat and Improve

Practice makes perfect:

• Say hard phrases slowly, then get faster as you get better.
• If you mess up start over until you get it right.

7. Be Confident

Confidence helps you speak clearly:
