TONGUE-TWISTERS - Trabalenguas en inglés

A tongue-twister is a phrase or sentence that is difficult to say because it contains many similar sounds. The object is to repeat it as many times as possible, as quickly as possible, without mispronunciation.

They are often used to practice pronunciation. Read the following tongue-twisters and try to repeat them many times.

A flea and a fly in a flue.
Said the fly: 'Oh, what should we do?'
Said the flea: 'Let's fly!'
Said the fly: 'Let's flee!'
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
(Sent by Gustavo Corona from Tijuana, Mexico)

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper,
a peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper,
where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?
(Sent by Andy Patton from Belfast, Ireland)

Tito and Tato were tattooed in total,
but Toto was only tattooed on his toe.
So Tato told Tito where Toto was tattooed,
but Tito said Toto's tattoo wouldn't show.

Charley is chary when choosing his cheeses
and cheese is a challenge when Charley arrives.
When Charley is charming, he chooses a cheddar, then chews it and chips it and chops in some chives.
(Sent by Roberto Muñoz from Barcelona, Spain)

Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
The seven silly sheep Silly Sally shooed
shilly-shallied south.
These sheep shouldn't sleep in a shack.
Sheep should sleep in a shed.

If one doctor doctors another doctor, does the doctor
who doctors the doctor doctor the doctor the way the
doctor he is doctoring doctors? Or does he doctor
the doctor the way the doctor who doctors doctors?

How many cuckoos could a good cook cook,
if a good cook could cook cuckoos?
A good cook could cook as many cuckoos as a good cook could,
if a good cook could cook cuckoos.
(Sent by Ramón Mas from Catalonia, Spain)

Betty Botter bought some butter,
but she said: 'This butter's bitter.
If I put it in my batter,
it will make my batter bitter.'
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
put it in her batter,
and it made her batter better.
(Sent by Benito J. Pérez from Sinarcas, Valencia, Spain)

You've no need to light a night-light
On a light night like tonight,
For a night-light lights a slight light,
And tonight's a night that's light.
When a night's light, like tonight's light,
It is really not quite right
To light night-lights with their slight lights
On a light night like tonight.
(Sent by Yani Corti from Banfield, Argentina)

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!
(Sent by Yani Corti from Banfield, Argentina)

A tree toad loved a she-toad who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad but a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win the three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground that the three-toed tree toad trod.
But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain. He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree toad bower with her three-toed power, the she-toad vetoed him.
(Sent by Yani Corti from Banfield, Argentina)
