Every day on phonology classes we had to learn a new tongue twister because those are one of the means of learning a language without getting bored. Tongue twisters help us improve fluency in the language. Many tongue twisters contain similar sounding words/phrases with different meanings. This leads to another benefit of improving our vocabulary.
For example, “Sally sang songs on Sundays.” repeats the “s” sound many times.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF TONGUE TWISTERS
- “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”
- “She sells sea shells down by the sea shore.”
- “A big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood. “
- If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch?”

ResponderEliminarTongue twister is an excellent way to practice the articulation of every single sound in our mouth because in English there are some words very similar in their sound, and if we don not recognize the different, we going to have troubles to speak this language.
