Sounding by sound is a sound method of sounding sounds.
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.
Notice the run of 5 words starting with S - that's what makes it slip.
Why it's tricky
This 10-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.
