Tongue twister

Hello friends! Welcome Yumi and Satya!

Hi Ana Paula! I am glad you are back and your sister is well. I am also happy to hear that you liked the sites.

I will write a very brief entry today. I just would like to help you wind down after a busy week.

I like playing with words, I like doing crossword puzzles in Hungarian but it is not easy to do the same in English. I am into tongue twisters which are sentences that are difficult to say. They are good pronunciation practice.

The well-known tongue twister is: She sells seashells on the seashore.

I would like to show you my collection of tongue twisters. Here they are:

Six silly sisters selling shiny shoes.

Four fine fresh fish for you.

If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose?

I am looking back,
To see if she is looking back,
To see if I am looking back,
To see if she is looking back at me!

Finally, my favourite one: I scream, you scream, we scream: ice-cream.

Do you like them? Can you add any more tongue twisters to the list? I am looking forward to reading them.

Have a nice rest of the weekend! Bye, bye

Anita

Hi Anita,This is my first time to write to a blogger. I liked your tongue twisters very much and I'll tell my friends about them.As you see I'm Egyptian and I'm over 60 and have taught English for more than 35 years.I hope we'll be friends.

Hello Anita, Tongue twister has been all time favourite thing to me. Here are a couple of tongue twisters from me:1) The sixth sick sheik's son slept.2)Flora's freshly fried fish. And this is an Urdu one which I'm translating in Englsih, Raw papaya ripe papaya. Naheed
