In today’s programme, Helen Hu and Feifei Feng bring you some of the most well-known tongue twisters in English.
Tongue twisters are great fun. This is one of the few types of wordplay that exists in every language.
And for language learners, they’re perfect for practising pronunciation and impressing others.
They are also challenging for native speakers too, as you will find out.
Tongue twisters are challenging for many people
We ask English teacher Sarah Morgan about English tongue twisters and tips on how to improve our tongue twisting techniques.
Why not have a go at the tongue twisters in our programme. You can find them by downloading the script.
