The goal is not speed. The goal is a clean sound, steady tongue, and calm repetition.
How to practise this lesson
Use one letter at a time. Play the sound, repeat it three times, then record your own voice. If it sounds unclear, delete and try again. Save only when the sound feels clean and steady.
