Today's English

A word, phrase or sentence that is very difficult to read fast and correctly is called a tongue-twister. In order to improve your pronunciation, you need to twist your tongue by reading these tongue-twisters three to seven times as fast as possible. They are, no doubt, good stuff to challenge your friends and feed their tongue for being phonetically alive. Shall we enjoy some tongue-twisters today?
(Don't forget to repeat 3 to 7 times quickly and correctly. And at least once without seeing the text)
