19-word tongue twister · sound focus: s/sh · difficulty: hard
How to say it
Sibilants (s, sh) trip up the tongue tip. Keep your teeth close together and let the air hiss through the same channel — don't switch tongue position between the two sounds.
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.
