Machackova (2012:42) states that tongue twisters are not only
a linguistic fun and game but serve a practical purpose for
language and speech development. For example, tongue twisters
may be used by foreign students of English to improve their
accent and speech pathologists. Tongue twisters are often used
as a tool to help those with speech difficulties. Tongue twisters
concentrate on accurate production and help students to
improve their pronunciation skills. The objective of tongue
twisters is to help the students to realize how important
