Tongue Twisters

Okay, here are some tongue twisters for you to practice, keeping in mind the current time and location (Soshanguve, Gauteng, South Africa). I've included a mix of classic English ones and some that might be a bit more challenging!

Classic English Tongue Twisters:

• She sells seashells by the seashore.

• How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

• Betty Botter bought some butter, but the butter's bitter. So Betty Botter bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better.

Tips for Practicing:

• Start slowly: Focus on pronouncing each word clearly.
• Exaggerate the sounds: This helps your mouth get used to the movements.
• Repeat, repeat, repeat: Practice each tongue twister several times.
• Gradually increase speed: Once you can say it clearly slowly, try going faster.
• Don't get discouraged: Tongue twisters are meant to be tricky!
