Why this one is hard

R and L alternate on every word. Your tongue tip has to switch position fast, and it starts blending both into one sound.

How to practise it

  1. 1

    Say it once, slowly

    Read the whole line aloud at half speed. Get every sound correct before you think about pace.

  2. 2

    Break it into chunks

    Split the line into two or three pieces. Repeat each piece on its own until it comes out clean every time.

  3. 3

    Join the chunks back up

    Say the full line again, still slowly. Accuracy first — speed is worth nothing if the words are wrong.

  4. 4

    Start the timer

    Hit start and push your pace. You need 10 clean repetitions in 60 seconds to pass easy.
