It is not going to happen overnight............but if you use your brains, progress will occur at a rapid rate.
Talking and tonguing are related. As a student I practiced the triple tonguing studies in the Arban book without the horn. I use da da ga for the triple tongue. I use a metronome as an aid.
Mendez' tongue was not fast in the beginning, but he practiced the syllables while walking around in his hometown. Try it
