Tongue Twisters in English are a sequence of words or sounds that are generally difficult to pronounce quickly and correctly. But they are greatly helpful in speech therapy and effectively improve one’s pronunciation and fluency.
The tongue twisters in English are generally designed by using alliteration which means the repetition of the same sound. They look funny but quite challenging.
When you want to learn the other tongue, I mean the language other than your mother tongue, it is better to tune your tongue by practising tongue twisters. So, the more you practise, the better confident speaker you become.
Here is a long list of the best and popular Tongue Twisters in English provided in an alphabetical order. This is definitely a great source for all levels of learners.
