How to Say the Alphabet Backwards
Saying the alphabet backwards is hard because you learned it as one song that only runs forwards. Break it into short chunks instead: ZYX, WVU, TSR, QPO, NML, KJI, HGF, EDC, BA.
Practise each chunk until it comes out on its own, then chain them. Once each chunk is a single sound, the whole run takes a few seconds.
