Role of Tongue Twisters in spoken English

Why Tongue Twisters? Whenever you’re at home (or alone somewhere else) you can practice speaking English to yourself in a mirror.

Just the act of speaking out loud will help you become more comfortable speaking English. The idea behind this practice is to pull you out of your shell. Almost every beginner’s biggest hurdle to speak a foreign language fluently is the lack of confidence.

While you practice this, you must keep in mind that the two most important things in this practice are : Fluency and expressions. Don’t bother much about accent or slip of tongue.
