Let’s Have Some Language Learning Fun With English and Spanish Tongue Twisters …
Tongue twisters are a great way to improve and practise pronunciation when learning a foreign language. They are also a good way of improving our communication skills as they help us control our tone and rhythm while speaking.
Pronunciation whilst learning a foreign language is a skill that should be practised from day one. That way you can say things right from the very beginning and not have to struggle to change bad habits that have been picked up by speaking the language without good practice.
Also, controlling your tone and rhythm whilst speaking is a good habit to practice from the outset.
So, if you want to practise your pronunciation, tone and rhythm in your native language or a foreign one, tongue twisters are the way to go.

Here are some tongue twisters in English and Spanish that we encourage you to practise and learn to improve your communication skills in both languages:
