English Pronunciation 38: Lip exercises

In this video, we are going to look at useful exercises to prepare your lips for English pronunciation. For the first exercise, we are going to keep our lips together and relax our lips. Then we are going to breath out, so that the air passes through our lips. Your lips flutter together as the air passes. To make the exercise easier, you can put your hands on your lower cheek and push your cheek up. You can also do the exercise using your voice. For the next exercise, push your lips forward (so that your lips make a small, tight circle) and then pull your lips back (so that your lips stretch into a wide smile). Repeat this forward back lip movement four or five times. For the last lip exercise, push your lips forward (so that your lips make a small, tight circle) and then open your mouth wide as you stretch your lips back. Repeat this forward back lip movement four or five times. Now, your lips are ready to start pronouncing the sounds of English.
