      Tongue twisters
      Here we are making available a collection of tongue twisters to enable teachers to help students develop their pronunciation.

      On the audio recordings you will hear each tongue twister three times.

      If you have teaching ideas for how to use these tongue twisters to develop your students' pronunciation, we would love to hear from you and publish your ideas on the site.

      It is a great work. It is very very useful to teach English as a second language specially in the listening and speaking skills. Thank you very much. I hope you will add other tongue twisters very soon to this page.
