They usually have the same sounding consonants. So, when you do try to say the words in order, the pronunciation comes out all wrong. ]]> 2020-10-23 22:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/edyrmishi/on98c2ffhqttlmzq/wish/857466500 The origin of Tongue Twisters edyrmishi https://padlet.com/edyrmishi/on98c2ffhqttlmzq/wish/857469984
Did you know that the famous sea shell tongue twister dates back to 19th century England? It’s about a woman called Mary Anning. She used to collect shells and fossils on the beach to sell to wealthy families and make money for her own family. While the tongue twister is famous, maybe Mary deserves some more fame herself – she actually discovered the first flying dinosaur which is displayed in the British Museum!

They can also help to improve accents by using alliteration, which is the repetition of one sound. They're not just for kids, but are also used by actors, politicians, and public speakers who want to sound clear when speaking.]]> 2020-10-23 22:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/edyrmishi/on98c2ffhqttlmzq/wish/857480617 edyrmishi https://padlet.com/edyrmishi/on98c2ffhqttlmzq/wish/857483284 She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
