Tongue twisters are a great way to practice your pronunciation. These short phrases and stories repeat the same sounds many times. They are good exercise for your tongue muscle.

Tongue twisters sound very silly, but they are great speech therapy. They can also help you speak a new language more clearly. Practice tongue twisters every day, and you’ll soon be an expert.
