Tongue Twister Collection
These are tongue twisters which gathered from many websites on the internet for students to practice pronunciation.
Practicing reading out loud tongue twisters is a fun and effective way to flourish your pronunciation as well as improving your speaking voice. It helps you to stretch and shape your organs of speech, helps develop pronunciation and speech patterns. Together with other vocal exercises, reading tongue twisters can help you have a clearer voice and reduce your mother accent when you speak English.
You will sound more native-like and will be understood easier. I suggest to write down your favorite tongue twisters on a piece of paper so it would be more convenient for you to analyze the sounds using IPA. It would be much better that you can learn them by heart and practice whenever you can. I have a habit reading tongue twister when I am ridding to work every day. It is fun. You should try too.

B – Paragraph
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?
Peter Piper
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
How many peppers did Peter Piper picked?
She sells seashells
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 seashells shells.
Susie Shine
I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop.
Where she shines, she sits, and where she sits, she shines.
Bug and Bear
The big black bug
Bit the big black bear
And made the big black bear bleed blood
Pheasant Plucker
I’m not a pheasant plucker
I’m a pheasant plucker’s mate
And I’m only plucking pheasant
Cause the pheasant plucker’s late
She’s on the balcony
She stood on the balcony
Inexplicably mimicking him hiccuping
And amicably welcoming him home.
Woodchuck
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if the woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
And chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.
I thought a thought
I thought a thought,
But the thought I thought wasn’t the thought I thought I thought.
If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought,
I wouldn’t have thought so much.
I wish
I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish,
but if you wish the wish the witch wishes,
I won’t wish the wish you wish to wish.
Doctor
If one doctor doctors another doctor,
Then which doctor is doctoring the doctored 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?
Background
Black background, brown background,
Brown background, black background,
Background background, black, black, brown, brown.
Washington washers
While we were walking, we were watching window washers wash Washington’s windows with warm washing water.
A flea and a Fly
A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
Said the flea, “Let us fly!”
Said the fly, “Let us flee!”
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
