Say these phrases aloud as if you're giving advice to a friend:

  • You should save money for emergencies.
  • I try not to spend money on things I don't need.
  • Good money management really helps.

Record yourself reading this — or try using two or three in a short paragraph:

"If I play my cards right, this job interview could be a real game-changer. The name of the game is confidence — and I've got a solid game plan."

 

🎧 Practice challenge

Try saying this aloud:

"For all I know, she's in the know — but I certainly don't know the ropes."

 

Try this:

✅ "She's a Virgo and I'm a Leo. Total opposites."

✅ "Is he an Aquarius or a Pisces?"

✅ "I'm a Sagittarius — but I don't believe in all that!"

🎧 Record yourself saying your star sign and two others. Listen back. Did you use the correct syllable stress and vowel sounds?
