How to say it

Great warm-up or first-timer twister - good for kids and classroom drills. Because it's short, aim for three clean repeats in a row without slowing down.

Notice the run of 5 words starting with A - that's what makes it slip.

Why it's tricky

This 7-word twister packs its tricky sounds into a short window, so your tongue gets no rest between each trap. Tongue twisters work by packing similar or alternating sounds close together, so your lips and tongue have to reset faster than normal speech allows - practising them is a great workout for clear diction.
