thirty/ fifty-odd terrible tonguetwisters

A tonguetwister is a phrase or sentence which is hard to say fast, because of alliteration or a
sequence of nearly similar sounds.
We use them in the classroom for oral repetition in order to develop speech skills and they help
in speech therapy.
In order to maximise the full effect of a tonguetwister students should try to repeat each one
several times as quickly as possible without stumbling or mispronouncing
I have arranged the tonguetwisters below in  phonetic alphabetical order:
