What is a tongue twister<\/em><\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n A tongue twister<\/em><\/strong> is a group of words which are difficult to say quickly. Sometimes they can even be difficult to say slowly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll have tongue twisters in your language too, and most likely you have some favorite ones from your childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an example of a tongue twister. Try saying it out loud<\/strong>. You might mix up some of the starting sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She shells she shells? <\/em>Or, she sells sea shells<\/em>? Keep saying it again and again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Focus on each word individually and say the sentence really slowly. Once you\u2019ve got that mastered, gradually speed up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tongue twisters are fun to practice. It\u2019s a great feeling when you can finally say it quickly and show off to your friends. Even better when you watch them struggle, and then flawlessly say it yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, not only that. Tongue twisters are also great for your pronunciation<\/strong>. So you can have fun and improve your English at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll know that we have different sounds in English to your language. You\u2019ll probably find some sounds harder to say than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s exactly why tongue twisters are great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n They help you focus on each particular sound. As mentioned above, if you start by saying it slowly and really concentrate on the shape and position of your mouth, tongue and jaw<\/strong>, you\u2019ll learn to make the shapes and you\u2019ll get used to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, as you get faster, you start to make the correct mouth shapes without even trying. It\u2019s like exercising – difficult at first but with practice and routine, it gets easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\nShe sells sea shells on the sea shore.
