“A thirsty thrush threads thirty thin thimbles. Those thimbles thrilled the thirsty thrush.”
13-word tongue twister · sound focus: th · difficulty: hard
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.
