Tongue Twisters Files

|
We bet you thought that Tongue Twisters are just for fun. Well, they are used by therapists to help people with speech impediments or cause them. If you get real good at them, you might be able to get a job as a Rapper. Some of the Tongue Twisters may facilitate the use of profanity if not done properly. We have tried to put a warning on those items. You wouldn't want to embarass anyone!
WARNING:Not all the items contained in this database are appropriate for classroom use. This site is for ADULTS ONLY. We have made suggestions for the level, but each educator bears responsibility for making the final decision for the use of the material in their specific teaching situation.
