Hello, everybody! I am Georgiana, your English teacher and founder of\\xa0SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help you speak English fluently. Speaking English is way easier than it seems! You just have to use the right material and techniques.

In this episode, I\\u2019ll introduce you to some new\\xa0tongue twisters. It\'s not the first time I\'m talking about tongue twisters. I\'ve done two episodes in the past, so if you want to listen to them, look for episodes\\xa0#083\\xa0and\\xa0#087.

And with a mini-story, you will improve your\\xa0fluency in English\\xa0by answering questions, like in a real conversation.

Remember that you can get the text of this episode at\\xa0speakenglishpodcast.com.

Before I start talking about tongue twisters, let me thank you for listening to my podcast.

I would like to start 2020 by thanking everyone for listening and for supporting my program by sharing it on social media with your friends and families. Thank you, everyone!

Ok. Let\\u2019s get started!

So, do you remember what a\\xa0tongue\\xa0twister\\xa0is?\\xa0

It can be a difficult phrase or sentence that we say quickly, usually because of a sequence of almost similar sounds.\\xa0

For example, "Peter Piper picked a pickle of pickled peppers." By the way, if you want to learn Peter Piper\'s tongue twister, be sure to listen to episode\\xa0#083.

Although children find them entertaining,\\xa0tongue twisters\\xa0are used by people who want to speak clearly, including actors, politicians, etc.

Tongue twisters\\xa0allow us to\\xa0practice pronunciation\\xa0and agility when producing sounds in the language, and that\\u2019s why I\\u2019ve decided to share some more examples with you.

Are you ready?

Let\\u2019s go!

I\'ll start saying each tongue twister slowly, and then I\'ll go faster.\\xa0

You will see that at first, they can seem very difficult. But don\\u2019t worry about it. Just make sure to have the text in front of you so that you can follow it better.

Let\\u2019s start!

Ok. So, I will say it very slowly:


1) I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.\\xa0

Again.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.\\xa0

Are you ready to speed it up?

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.\\xa0

Again.

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