Surprising Benefits of Tongue Twisters

A tongue twister is a type of diction or articulation exercise containing a series of alliterations that challenge language enthusiasts to recite difficult words at a fast, rhythmic pace and help them improve their fluency, speech, and accent. The linguistic sensation is also seen as a spoken word game that brings enjoyment to its practitioners, and is celebrated as a casual holiday every 8th of November.

To master the art of detangling the twisted tongue, one may recite the tongue twister slowly at first, and then practice it in a repetitive manner while gradually speeding up his or her pace.

A tongue twister is a great self-improvement tool that helps an individual brush up his speech, boost his confidence, express himself better, and kill his time in a productive manner. Aside from these, tongue twisters also offer you the following benefits:

• Strengthen and stretch the muscles involved in speaking, which extends from your facial muscles to your neck.
•  Point out which sounds are difficult for you to pronounce, especially with consonant digraph sounds such as ch, sh, and th.
•  Warm up your public speaking skills. 
•  Expand your vocabulary and reading comprehension.
