Tongue twisters are a great way to learn English by practicing and improving pronunciation and fluency. Native English speakers use tongue twisters to practice articulating for speeches or presentations. You can find recordings of the tongue twisters below online to help you practice both your listening and pronunciation. Children learn most tongue twisters in grade school, but they’re not just for kids, but are also used by actors, politicians, and public speakers who want to sound clear when speaking. The goal is to say them as quickly as you can as many times as you can! Feel free to drop by guided self study to practice with a teacher during your spare time!
