A good way to improve your English skills is to practice speaking. Tongue twister is a good way to improve your pronunciation and enunciation of English vocabularies.

Try to read the phrase below. At first, do it slowly:

It’s common to think that the rule is to use an before a vowel letter and a before a consonant letter. But the actual rule is to use a before a consonant sound (b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z) and use an before a vowel sound (a,e,i,o,u)

It doesn’t matter whether the word starts with a vowel letter or a consonant letter. It just matters how the letter is pronounced.

Examples:
an herbal medicine
a jacket
an hour
a banana
an MBA
a pencil case
an umbrella

So, next time, do not be confused when reading  these words.

How much is that racket?
What is that animal?
Bring me that ball.

“A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.”
- William Arthur Ward

There are different languages all over the world. When you visit a new country, a new language is spoken. Most times, we don't speak and understand them. But choosing to smile and being kind is a universal language. Wherever you go, everyone can understand you, even without speaking their language.
