Can YOU say these 10 tongue twisters?

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

Today's lesson is going to be a challenge even for me... We're working on 10 tongue twisters - short phrases that are very difficult to pronounce, even for native English speakers!

I like tongue twisters because they're a fun way to train ourselves to develop very precise pronunciation, and if you can learn to pronounce a tongue twister well, then regular English sentences will probably feel a lot easier by comparison.

English pronunciation is really tricky, and I'd love to help you improve yours so that you can speak more clearly, confidently, and correctly.

My American English Pronunciation Course is a great way to train your pronunciation, make it better, and also receive an evaluation at the end of the course!
