TONGUE TWISTER

A tongue twister is “a sequence of words or sounds, typically of an alliterative kind, that is difficult to pronounce quickly and correctly.” (Oxford Dictionary) Not only the Tongue twisters are a lot of fun to try and recite, but also they are one of the best ways to practice English pronunciation. Tongue twisters are beneficial because they help your brain remember patterns and words faster than speaking or singing.
