Tongue twisters for practice

  • This thistle is the thickest thistle.
  • Whether the weather is fine, or whether the weather is not, whether the weather is cold, or whether the weather is hot, we'll weather the weather whatever the weather, whether we like it or not.  

L and R Sounds:

  • Red lorry, yellow lorry.

  • The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick.
  • Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?
  • I saw Susie sitting in a shoeshine shop. Where she sits she shines, and where she shines she sits.

Tips for Practicing:

  • Start slowly: Focus on accuracy over speed initially.
  • Exaggerate the sounds: This helps you isolate and practice the tricky parts.
  • Repeat multiple times: Gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable.
  • Record yourself: This can help you identify areas where you need to improve.
  • Have fun! Tongue twisters are meant to be challenging but also enjoyable.
