Tongue Twisters
"Toy boat. Toy boat. Toy boat."
"She sells sea shells by the seashore."
"Unique New York" (say it three times fast)
Create a new tongue twister. It doesn't have to be long to be difficult. Maybe there is something that your tongue has stumbled upon in your everyday life.
The trick with a tongue twister is that you have to switch back and forth quickly between two sounds. You have to find two sounds that are difficult to switch between. Here are two lists to give you some ideas.
