Onomatopeia is when a word is the sound. Here are some examples: "I hear the sizzle of the steak on the BBQ." sizzle = that szszs sound when steak is cooking "The honk of the car's horn woke me up." honk = sound the car makes when you hit it's horn Hope this helps!

I wish there was an easy answer! :-) Unfortunately, there are no rules. The best way to make sense of them is to become best friends with "The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionaries."

There are lots of tongue twisters out there you could search for. I would focus on the areas of pronunciation you struggle with. For example, if it's the "b" sound, try this 3 times: Betty Botter bought some butter But she said this butter's bitter If I put it in my batter It will make my batter bitter, But a bit of better butter Will surely make my batter better. So she bought a bit of butter Better than her bitter butter And she put it in her batter And her batter was not bitter. So t'was better Betty Botter Bought a bit of better butter.
