Violation of the pronunciation of the sonorous sound "p", or, in common people, "burr" occurs in both children and adults. And if at the age of five or six years old kids often visit a speech therapist who helps them cope with this problem, then adults think that it is too late for them to get rid of the defect. Nevertheless, you can stop burr at any age.

To begin with, you should know that such a problem can occur for physiological reasons. The excessively short bridle under the tongue is to blame. If the doctor confirmed your guess, then you have two options: either cut the bridle or stretch it. If you decide to get rid of the defect surgically, know that this operation is easy, you only need a few days to heal the wound. If you decide to stretch the bridle, then try the following exercise: every day try to reach the tip of the tongue to the nose or chin.

Choose a few tongue twisters in which the letter "r" is found (the famous "Grass in the yard, firewood in the grass" is suitable) and pronounce them every day.

Such an exercise is also suitable: for several minutes, repeat the sounds "te", "de", "le", gradually accelerating the pace. Soon you will notice that when pronouncing “le”, the tip of the tongue falls on the mounds located behind the upper teeth, and the sound “p” is obtained. Now pronounce the syllable, saying "de" in the English manner. Then, start making the sounds slower again. Do the exercise until you begin to hear a distinct “p.”

As an exercise, pronouncing words that contain the letter "p" is suitable: tractor, fish, grass, river, stream, metro, chrome. If you find it difficult to evaluate the correct pronunciation, read out the words on the recorder, and then listen to them. This will help you understand if your speech has improved.

If you have trouble pronouncing p in a soft position, learning English will help. When you master this sound, you can easily enter it into Russian.

If simple exercises do not bring results, do not hesitate to contact a speech therapist. Setting the correct letter "p" is individual for each case, and only a specialist will be able to say which exercises you should perform.
