Tongue Twister, They help us improve our pronunciation in a certain language!

The tongue twisters are used to practice the correct pronunciation of the words of the language, as well as to be more fluent when expressing oneself. I am currently in an English course as my second language and I realized that when I started to pronounce them like anyone else I stumbled my tongue several times, but then I began to realize that my fluency at the time of reading in English and thinking in English was faster. Thank God I have an excellent English teacher and I could say that more than a teacher is a great friend

Most of the time we always have problems or find it difficult to pronounce the tongue twisters correctly in another language because we say the vowels as we are used to saying them in our mother tongue, in case my is Spanish, therefore the vowels in Spanish only have 5 sounds (a, e, i, o, u) would be diphthongs, but in English the language I am learning as I said earlier, the vowels have between 16 and 18 different vowel sounds, which sometimes the same vowel in different Words may sound in several different ways. That's why for me the tongue twisters help us a lot to know how to pronounce each word and have more fluency when speaking.

Then I will leave some tongue twisters in English and Spanish to have fun for a while trying to say them as fast as possible:

  • 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.
