CLASSIC TONGUE TWISTERS 1

Poems Directory

Lips teeth tip of the tongue

99 nuns interned in an Indiana nunnery

Unique New York

Sunshine City

Red leather yellow leather

Aluminum linoleum

Lemon liniment

I go by a blue goose bus

Burn the brown bread badly

Cross crossings cautiously

Cows graze in groves on grass which grows in grooves in groves

Wise wives whistle while weaving worsted waistcoats

He ran from the Indies to the Andes in his undies

A critical cricket critic

Old, oily Ollie oils oily autos

French friars fanning a fainted flea

Slippery seals slipping silently ashore

She sells sea shells by the seashore

Slim Sam slid sideways

She sewed shirts seriously

Sister Susie's sewing shirts for soldiers

Why do you hide?

Please read to me

Each of us needs to be neat

Irish eyes are smiling

Tom joined his noisy friends

Roy likes oysters

She was beautiful and amusing

Yesterday we had onion soup

Millions yearn to be in New York

Tom wants to be in the Army

The ball has fallen over the wall

I could eat a bushel full

He fell asleep on the sofa

She saw Bert and Bert saw her

If you prefer we'll rehearse the third verse

Nothing about something is something about nothing

It is hard to breathe in this air

I saw another better one yesterday

Open the window and close the door

Don't go out in the boat alone

We are both going home

We can win without a reward

He is hiding behind the house

How can I help being happy?

Why do you whisper?

Harry tried to rip the orange ribbon

Do not run across the narrow bridge

Today is Don's birthday

Jack sat on a tack

The eastern team was completely defeated

He managed to master it nevertheless

Anyone will lend them seven pennies

The outlaws fought until dawn

Paul's audience applauded warmly

Does the moon shine into the room?

I'll tell the story tomorrow morning

Will you come with me tomorrow?

My mother is making some jam

The woman looked wistfully downward during the waltz

Bring me the ink and the longest pen

Isn't it fine to fly a kite?

Please draw a picture on this piece of paper

Bob built the biggest building in Columbus

Anyone who believes that fable is gullible

He voiced his annoyance at the noise in the Savoy

That's considerably above the market value

Some say our forefathers were anarchists and rebels

She believed she didn't need to please the teacher

He thinks he is king of an Indian kingdom

They begged for rest before the extra session

Everyone said it was an elegant dress

He made an allusion to the invasion of Persia

Good, said Gregory, begin again

His plays deserve to be chosen for the prize

Earthquakes are irksome to earthworms

Was the earthquake in the north or the south?

It is very cool this noon

We go away this winter

Soon it will be cool enough to move

Summer seems better after winter is over

The rain made me late

They sang for the king every morning

Is it wrong to sing in the spring?

She quickly became chilled in the bitter wind

Dan will catch cold if he doesn't have a hat

Carl gave me a picture book for Christmas

Tom comes from a farm

Do not walk on the lawn

A grape becomes a raisin

Why isn't wheat grown anywhere?

The rain helps the flowers grow

Ned has many new plants in his garden

Keep the apple but give me the pear

Imagine His Majesty's carriage loaded with cabbages

Jumping over the large hedge is no joke

Are you going far from the farm?

The lake is so still it is almost like glass

Try to recall the far shore

I have plowed the ground around the house

Do not walk in the woods, they are wet

Do not lose the roses with the long stems

Take the carrots and cabbages from the basket

Violets never grow on vines

Our orchard has many cherry trees

Chekhov wrote The Cherry Orchard

We have over seven varieties of clover

Did you ever find a four-leaf clover?

The owl came down from the mountain

Listen awhile to the bobwhite's song

Somewhere from the left came the whistle of a bobwhite

Birds' wings must be strong for flying

Behind the barn are both blackbirds and bluebirds

Do you know the legend of the soldier and the pigeon?

The early bird catches the early worm

The buzzard pursued the lizard eagerly

I want another feather for that hat

Birds of a feather flock together

They cover southern, eastern and western America

The bees buzzed around the busy boys

The rabbit hid in the bushes

The elephant is a large animal

Our brown cow has been found

She shouted loudly when she found a mouse

Domesticated rabbits are often kept in hutches

A buffalo, a zebra and a gorilla escaped from the circus

There are zebras, monkeys and weasels in the zoo

His entry was an excellent etching of an elk

Drills may help to relieve faulty articulation

Reading this drill indifferently will do you no good

You will not develop skill simply by wishing

Many questions begin with which, what and where

Singing and speaking are both forms of vocal behavior

The sound faded until it was just audible

It is better to check than to guess at the stress

One method is direct measurement of pressure

Correction of consonants comes through practice

A phoneme is often defined as a sound family

Some spellings represent speech very poorly

Plan an improvement program and keep practicing

Students sometimes use it to refer to dialect

Many are accompanied by downward inflections

You can transfer what you learn into conversation

Harsh quality is a common problem

Pronunciation is sometimes slovenly

A high, harsh voice is a handicap

A falling inflection frequently indicates finality

Among the varieties are vowels and semivowels

The sound was found to be a component of vowels

Intensity is one of several aspects of stress

Loudness is determined mostly by intensity

Breathiness is often associated with softness

Good readers inhale during pauses between phrases

Nasality is nasal resonance in nonnasal sounds

Are you using the music book?

Few people do not like music

Some music is pleasing, amusing and amazing

An octave is a fraction of the musical scale

Camouflage employs visual illusions.

He clings to the language of long ago

Waiting for wealth is one way to waste time unwisely
