Tongue Twisters

It is funny to let the children learn some tongue twisters by heart in English. Begin to teach some tongue twisters in L1, it is fun and the children like the, but later try in L2!
It is a very good exercise not only for people as a speech therapy, or for people who want to get rid of an accent. 
The children just enjoy repeating the tongue twisters!
Let them try to say them faster and faster!

I've collected some short tongue twisters, in order to use them in the Primary School.

Have fun!
