Improve your accent by doing these exercises. Every language has tongue twisters. They are fun to practice your pronunciation because they use sound sequences that are often difficult to say quickly. In this lesson, I look at four common English tongue twisters to help you improve your pronunciation. The tongue twisters include Peter Piper
, Betty Botter
, and more. When you’re finished with this video, check out our resources page for 50 tongue twisters to improve your pronunciation.

Hi Alex, how’ve you been?
Today I watched one of your lessons about “Music Idioms”, very interesting by the way.
At the end of the video you mentioned your full name, but I didn’t quite get your last name; is it Mackarthur? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Thanks for all these great lessons.
Take care! Bye for now.

It was a great idea Alex to develop a lesson on tongue twisters. As you well put it, they help you improve your pronunciation.
Apart from that, they make you aware -to some good extent- of the English sound system.
Frankly speaking, it will take some doing to master some of the tongue twisters from the resouce list. It is a good support for future reference, though.
Thanks a lot Alex
am ready
Many thanks . I would like to explain how pronoun like, lake ,look ,lake, lock ,lack, and luck and follow and follow.If do not mind . WILL YOU

Hi, Alex! We also have tongue twisters in Japanese. Even I can’t say them well in Japanese, saying them in English is more difficult! But I think they are very important to improve my pronunciation. Thank you for your useful lesson.
You’re very welcome.
Thanks, Alex and all of you EngVid.com
Thank you so much … Maybe I’ve become Advanced ! :D
I want to test my language please
Thanks Alex Man you are the BEST ^,^

Nice video :). I know a bit longer version of the one with the shells, though. It goes:”She sells seashells by the seashore. The seashells that she sells are sea shells I´m sure.”
That’s definitely more difficult, but it’s fun to say!
how about betty botter bought a bit of better butter
Not so difficult but still not easy
No more words:You are always useful.Being useful for others is a real source for happiness.Good luck to you
difficult but very interesting, thank you so much, teacher :)
I’ve to say, you’re so good that I think like I’m having a private class with a teacher.
Thank you.
