Tongue Twisters in English :Umber’s Diary

Here are some tongue twisters (trabalenguas) in English to try at home, try to say the words quickly!

I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!

 

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Where’s the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,

And chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would,

If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

All I want is a proper cup of coffee,

Made in a proper copper coffee pot

I may be off my dot

If I can’t have a proper cup of coffee

In a proper copper coffee pot

I’ll have a cup of tea.
