Is it anyway possible i can make my tongue longer ?

Not really: You can't make your tongue longer. However sometimes the muscle attachment can restrict the movement and you can't stick it out vary far. This is called tongue tied. This can be fixed with a simple surgical procedure. Talk to an oral surgeon about this.

Maybe..: No you can't lenghten your tongue but sometimes you can clip the lingual frenum to allow the tongue go forward on the lower teeth. Generally not needed but physical therapy may help with speech chuck.
