How to say it

This one trips up native speakers. Expect to bite your tongue a few times before it clicks. At this length, build up in two-beat chunks and then string them together.

Watch for the vowel pairs that mirror each other - your tongue has to reset between each one.

Why it's tricky

This 9-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.
