| INTRODUCTION |
| Peter: KoreanClass101.com presents "Korean Tongue-Twister Challenge." Lesson 1. Korean Tourism Organization |
| Kyejin: Hello, I'm Kyejin Kim. |
| Peter: And I'm Peter Galante. We’ll be your hosts for this audio series. |
| Peter: Tongue twisters are hard even for native speakers to pronounce. Repeated practice can improve articulation and enunciation — no matter your skill level with a language. |
| Kyejin: The best way to use this lesson is listen and speak out loud after the beep. |
| Peter: This is powerful language learning technique... |
| Kyejin: ...That helps you progress faster. |
| Peter: After you've learned the tongue twister, keep practicing it to increase speed and improve clarity. Professional speakers and singers often use tongue twisters as a way to warm-up before an important performance. You too can use them anytime you want to speak flawless Korean. |
| Peter: Use this tongue twister to perfect your Korean pronunciation. |
| TONGUE TWISTER |
