8-word tongue twister · sound focus: f/th/v · difficulty: medium

How to say it

The "th" sound needs your tongue tip to peek out between your teeth. It feels awkward at speed — deliberately slow the th's and let the rest of the sentence stay quick.

The five-times-fast test

A tongue twister isn't beaten until you can say it five times in a row without slowing down. Take a breath, start slow, and speed up on each pass. Use the mic practice mode to hear where you slur.
