TONGUE TWISTERS TO IMPROVE YOUR PRONUNCIATION
Tongue twisters are loads of fun to both the people listening and the ones saying it.
A tongue twister is nothing but a phrase,
sentence, or group of words that prove arduous to articulate. They comprise
alliterations, rhymes, distinct homophones and series of similar sounds. However, besides conducting to humor, tongue twisters are also used to help students improve their pronunciation.
They are included in lessons and are found to be effective in improving consonant and vowel sounds.
How does tongue twister improve speaking skills?
It has been proven that when you try tongue twisters it helps to clarify the pronunciation of words. Furthermore, it strengthens and stretches the muscles which you use to talk. It also shows you what sounds and words you have difficulty pronouncing.
Are tongue twisters effective?
Tongue twisters are a great way to practice and improve pronunciation and fluency. They can also help to improve accents by using alliteration, which is the repetition of one sound. They're not just for kids but are also used by actors, politicians, and public speakers who want to sound clear when speaking.
Tongue twister tips
Tongue twisters tips:
Start by reciting tongue twisters slowly and clearly. Split the tongue twister into sections, then practice. Repeat the tongue twister until you have mastered it. When one tongue twister is mastered, try another.
Tongue twisters are tricky, but they can force you to enunciate similar sounding words to make each phrase intelligible.
For example, “Peter Piper” can help you learn to enunciate consonants (in this case, “P”). “A Proper Cup of Coffee” emphasizes P’s and F’s while employing a variety of vowel sounds.

A flea and a fly in a flue
Said the fly “Oh what should we do”
Said the flea” Let us fly

Of all the felt I ever felt,
I never felt a piece of felt
which felt as fine as that felt felt,
when first I felt that felt hat’s felt.
Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See’s saw sawed Soar’s seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See’s saw
Before See sawed Soar’s seesaw,
See’s saw would not have sawed
Soar’s seesaw.
So See’s saw sawed Soar’s seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See’s saw sawed
Soar’s seesaw.
