Yeah! Hi, everybody! Welcome back to Top Words,
my name is Alisha and today we're going to be talking about tongue twisters.
Tongue twisters are phrases that are difficult to say, so they're
really good chances to practice your pronunciation. Let's go!
Sally sold seashells by the seashore.
This one's difficult because of the s and sh sounds.
Sally sold seashells by the seashore.
That one's not so bad. Okay, okay, we'll move on. Next!
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said the butter's bitter.
I've never seen this before, okay!
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said the butter's bitter.
That's a good one, I feel like he could have thrown the word
like butt in there somewhere, too.
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said the butter's bitter.
Oh, that's a good one, it's very bubbly.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
The next tongue twister is also a classic one about woodchucks, woodchucks are real
creatures that exist on the west coast of the United States, primarily in
Washington and Oregon. They're like beavers but they don't live in rivers,
they live in like forests and rocks. The tongue twister is how much wood
would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
And then there's a common response to that, which is
It would chuck all the wood that a woodchuck could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
We definitely talked about this one in that English
Topics episode we did about tongue twisters.
