By repeating sounds, or using alliteration, they can also help improve your intonation to sound more natural.\u00a0Actors, politicians, and public speakers who want to speak clearly in front of an audience also practice with these. Some of the most well-known English tongue twisters are listed here. Say them slowly first and pick up the speed little by little. You will feel much more confident speaker the more you master them. Short Tongue Twisters To practice the &#8216;H&#8217; sound A happy hippo hopped and hiccupped. To practice the &#8216;S&#8217;, the &#8216;SH&#8217; and the &#8216;CH&#8217; sounds She sells seashells by the seashore. I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop. Where she shines, she sits, and where she sits, she shines. If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose? To practice the &#8216;TH&#8217; sound Thirty-three thirsty, thundering thoroughbreds thumped Mr. Thurber on Thursday. He threw three free throws. To practise the short and long &#8220;i&#8221; I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit. To practise the &#8220;B&#8221; and &#8220;V&#8221; sounds The view of the valley is very beautiful. Betty loves the velvet black vest best. To practise the &#8220;R&#8221; sound: Truly rural. Red lorry, yellow lorry. Rory\u2019s lawn rake rarely rakes really right. Longer Tongue Twisters I thought a thought.But the thought I thoughtWasn\u2019t the thought I thought I thought.If the thought I thought I thought,Had been the thought I thought,I wouldn\u2019t have thought I thought How much wood would a woodchuck chuckif a woodchuck could chuck wood?He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck wouldif a woodchuck could chuck wood. Betty Botter bought some butter but, said she, the butter\u2019s bitter.If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.But a bit of better butter will make my bitter batter better.So she bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter,put it in her bitter batter, made her bitter batter better.So \u2018t was better Betty Botter bought some better butter. This next one is so funny and super difficult!!! I\u2019m a mother pheasant plucker, I pluck mother pheasants.I\u2019m the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker to ever pluck a mother pheasant.I\u2019m not the pheasant plucker I\u2019m the pheasant plucker\u2019s wife, I\u2019ve been plucking Mother pheasants my whole pheasant plucking life.I\u2019m not the pheasant plucker I\u2019m the pheasant plucker\u2019s mate, I\u2019m only plucking Pheasants \u2019cause the pheasant plucker\u2019s late.
