Tongue Twisters :D

Here are the tongue twisters we practiced today in class. Give them a try! :D

  • A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk thunk.
  • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled pepers?If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
  • She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I'm sure she sells seashore sells.
  • Betty Botter had some butter, "But", she said, "this butter's bitter. If I bake this bitter butter, it would make my batter bitter. But a bit of better butter, that would make my batter better." So she bought a bit of butter - better than her bitter butter - and she baked it in a batter; and the batter was not bitter. So t'was better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.
 


Even professionals have problems with getting tongue tied :D.
