Tongue Twisters

Tongue Twisters

Date: Dec 28 2007

Topic: Pronunciation

Author: Lesmundo2003

Lesson

Remember the film "My Fair Lady" adapted from "Pygmalion", had an exercise that the girl had to practice in order to improve her pronunciation:


  "The rain in Spain, falls mainly on the plain"


An old favourite of mine is:

  "She sells sea shells by the sea shore.

      The shells she sells are surely seashells.

         So if she sells shells on the seashore,

            I'm sure she sells seashore shells."


Do not attempt this if you have had too many bevies (alcoholic beverages)!!!

But feel free to add your own.

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw!

I like tongue twisters, it’s a lot of fun but some of them are soooo difficult for the tongue muscles like “sea shells by the seashore”.
Say this as quickly as possible:
Woodchuck
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
