Swing practices of my tongue and lips
I've come to understand spoken English much more after I learned some tips for pronunciation.
Now I often do a few types of "swing practices" of my tongue and lips.
Counting numbers in a bath is one of them.
I do another type of "swing practice". I listen to a certain podcast of spoken English, for example a news cast, and I move my tongue and lips without actually making sounds. I've, however, come to be able to imagine what sound will be made next.
From this experience, I understood that any spoken language come primarily with sounds, and secondarily with letters, therefore learning sound is the most important if I have ears to listen.
