1. "Think the lyric two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten times, and then speak it out!"

2. "Hot coffee and an apple pie, please!"
3. "Write a letter with your right hand under the light!"
4. "Seychelles seashore, Ishikawa!" she said.
5. Fingertips of singers are useful, because music and
voice training are closely related to English phonetics.
(only singer in 鼻濁音, or nasal g, that the Japanese are good at)
6. "Fight against any violence that may hurt the dignity
of a human!"

SPEAK OUT and Distinguish
[th], [f], [v], [s], [sh], [l], [r], and [g].

Singing song is very much useful, for it is fun.
Vowel practice had better be in sentences,
for it is stress oriented.
