   Exercise 5-8: Hold Your Tongue!


  You and I are going to read with our tongues firmly held at the roofs of our mouths.
  If you want, hold a clean dime 1 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, of course, and nobody would ever intentionally 2 sound like this,
  but no one will hear you practice.
  You don't want to sound like this:
  lllllllllll.
  Force your tongue to make all the various vowels 3 in spite 4 of its position.
  Let's go.
  Leave a little for Lola!

1 dime

  • A dime is a tenth of a dollar.一角银币是十分之一美元。
  • The liberty torch is on the back of the dime.自由火炬在一角硬币的反面。
2 intentionally

3 vowels
n.元音,元音字母( vowel的名词复数 )
  • Vowels possess greater sonority than consonants. 元音比辅音响亮。 来自《现代英汉综合大词典》
