Tongue Exercise for speech and swallowing abilities 

Thank you very much. I am Japanese. It is a lot of a different mouth from when we speak English. The most difficult one is I can hear pronunciation but I cannot find the right mouth form. Finally I found out it as your video. You see similar pronunciation Japanese and English but the mouth form is quite different! Normal speed English is too fast to find out the mouth form and the voice for me. I have been spending more than a couple decades to find out the right mouth form! Your video is all answer what I have been looking for! Thank you very much again God bless you

My health care is terrible and I have disabilities that I struggle with everyday. This is the kinds of things Ive been asking for, for my doctors to send me to and they never do. This is also why I am glad RU-vid is here for things like this. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and Ive had to do all the research and all of these things of relearning on my own because thats how bad and exhausting my health care has been for years. But thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for to help rebuild my speech and cognitive skills. :D

Thank you! I’ve had throat/swallowing pain (sharp, stabbing) getting worse and worse over the last year and it’s due to my radiation treatment for throat cancer. My speech and swallowing therapist recommended a set of tongue exercises that did not help. Yours did with a relief of the pain almost immediately afterword. I don’t know how long this will last, but I am amazed that I can swallow now pain free! I plan on repeating these exercises multiple times each day now.

2:56 my neighbors think I’m mentally challenged now

2:39 😂 i had to

thank you for the exercise; its really helpful. please ignore negative comments some useless people make and continue the good work. people like me are actually benefiting from it. thank you.

I found your RU-vid video and ask my husband to watch while he was in inpatient rehabilitation in July 2021 after his stroke May 2021. He watched it everyday on his cell phone and continues to watch as part of his home speech sessions that I have set up for him. His voice continues to get stronger and stronger. I like to hear him growling because it helps him and I hear that his vocals are improving everyday.

Swallowing Exercises • Open mouth all the way and hold • In/Out • Side to side • Up to nose/down away • KHG vowels (aeiou) • UH-GAH! • E! high pitch/AH! Down pitch

Thank you so much for these exercises.I shall practice them diligently daily as I have not been able to have a conversation for over 9 months. Have been diagnosed with silent acid reflux and the only symptom I have is loss of voice and a little cough.

I'm a special education teacher based in the Philippines and I have been using this video to help children with speech problems for years. Thank you so much for making this! ❤

thank you so much, former stutterer, always been tight mouth, jaw, throat. Never had speech therapy. Subscribed!

That was so much fun, and I felt so comfortable with you being the instructor. It reminded me of when I was in speech therapy.

This video is GREAT!!! I suffered a TBI several years ago and have been unable to speak since then.Your smile and enthusiasm have been a HUGE help. I have hope again. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much Terry for this information I have surgery done last Friday in my neck so my nerv in my tongue and my throat is affected by the surgery so I find it very difficult to swallow and even to breathe or even eat so I will be trying these exercise and I know it will be helpful to me thanks to people like you for helping people like me please to ignore the negative comments because I tried it while I was looking at your tape and my air waves feel so much better already with just one go thanks again Terry

Thank you. My wife is far better at kissing and makes me happy in many ways in bed.

I just saw this. I was hoping it might help with my tmj. I'm not sure what you mean about pushing against a chair(I think you said chair) during the vowel exercise. Am I pushing down by my side? Can you please explain further. Thank you

Not told none of this in the uk

This will really help my mom Thank you so much.

Thank you hopefully I will hear some improvement. Yes I did laugh at the end because I felt silly and worried about my neighbours lol I'm going to practice thank you for sharing. I definitely feel I've had a mouth/vocal workout.

0:42 *me, annoying my sibling*

I stumbled upon your video due to my curiosity of how to strengthen my tongue and throat to eliminate my speech impairment due to my hearing loss. . I saw this just now and I'm so excited to try these exercises and hopefully improve my current speech impediment as it made me a very quiet and reserved person because of fear of social judgement from society. I forget to remind myself of how I project my vocals and prononunciate my words and how it may sound to other people when they hear how my speech sounds deteriorating. I am eager to commit to these exercises and hope that it can improve my speech, maybe my speech could never be perfect but I definitely will be giving 110% effort for hopeful results. Thank you so much for this informational video, I look forward to watching any other content you've created :)

Thank you Terri, I am a stroke survivor and these exercises halp me so much. Do you have a exercises for helping with talking and slurring word, etc.?

Very useful. I instantly feel more able to speak.

Can't wait to improve my speech with these steps! Thank you!

thank you, the first time trying your exercise i can see a little improvement, i have dysphagia,Do to having cervical surgery a little over a month now, i will continue the exercise so that i can pass the swallow test coming up in 2 weeks.

I can't do tongue side to side

It’s fun doing these with my grandchildren. They love helping grandma with her funny exercises!

Not to detract from the value of the video, but did anyone else notice that the presenter accidentally said "fart" at 2:15?

My tongue won't stick out.

Thank you! I am very exhausted after eating and drinking as I have had two orthagathic surgeries one on top of the other literally LOL! So I especially loved the donkey one! Eyore is my favourite Disney character and I love you for building so much fun into this!

Hello I'm Rehan. I had car accident last month.big injured in head. After operation I can't speak now like before . Now I'm better but still my voice is not clear.

I have been diagnosed with unilateral oropharyngeal dysphagia and unilateral lingual atrophy (both same side). I was told to perform oral exercises such as these 2-3 times a day for 10 minutes. I am wondering how long I need to do this before I can see improvement in my speech and tongue movement.

Hi Terri, I would like you thanks first of all for wonderful exercises for beginners, i was a stutter initially, then gone through 2-3 times speech therapies & now i am feeling quite happy & can speak like a normal guy. I have faced today a moment full of anxiety, because when i was speaking in front of my senors team & colleague, i was not able to speak with confidence & not able to speak fluently. When i saw myself, i was out of breathe. Please support me & advise me.

Please advise I will greatly appreciate it with all my heart..... Thank you and God Bless....…

Hi there, my name is Brittany and I just have a question for you. I’ve been dealing with a minor lisp and so it has been causing me to sound about ten yrs younger than I actually am. When I hear my own voice, I just don’t appreciate it because I sound so young. My question is, will these exercises help me to sound more my age as I am going to be turning 30 next year and I don’t want to keep sounding young forever. I want to sound more of an adult rather than so young. Thanks for the help.

Thanks very much. Very informative and helpful.

Thank you so much! Hoping this helps with swallowing food and drink better!

Thank you. Very helpful. God bless you. Ileen from India

Done

I was really looking forward to this session, but this woman is so rude! she stuck her tongue out at me D=

What about this excercise? With a stress ball, bite it lightly but enough to hold in the mouth and then you stick your tongue towards the ball several times and that way there is a load and then do a set of 12 repetitions.

I love your video very much to
