Because the words for “room” and “preparation room” keep popping up, the moment you read it aloud your mouth can’t keep up and you can’t help but laugh.

Both kids and adults can enjoy it playfully while picturing familiar school classrooms and hospital rooms.

Each time you read it, the rhythm and the timing of your pauses shifts a little, so the more you repeat it, the more fun it becomes to use your voice.

If you read while conjuring different images for “art,” “technology,” and “surgery,” it feels like more than mere diction practice—you can savor a sense of story, too.

Once you read it, it’s addictive, so definitely give it a try.

[Tongue Twister] Parent Turtle, Baby Turtle, Descendant Turtle; Parent Duck, Duckling, Descendant Duck—Can You Say It? Challenge

Children can take it on playfully while imagining the animals, and adults can enjoy it as an exercise for the tongue and mouth, as well as for pronunciation practice.

With turtles and ducks appearing alternately, the sense of rhythm and vocal tempo change, revealing something new each time you read it.

Through repetition, you develop a sense of rhythm and can enjoy both the fun of speaking out and a good laugh—so give it a try!

[Tongue Twister Guide] Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce Patent Bureau, Bank of Japan Treasury Bureau, Monopoly Patent Authorization Bureau, Tokyo Patent Authorization Bureau | Japanese Tongue Twisters | Hayakuchi Kotoba

It’s a classic tongue twister that’s long and easy to trip over.

Because a string of names of government offices and bureaus with long titles comes one after another, you can’t help but lose the rhythm and laugh when you say it out loud.

Both kids and adults can enjoy taking on the challenge while getting into the rhythm.

Words with similar sounds like “tokkyo” (patent), “kyoka” (permission), and “kyoku” (bureau) appear repeatedly, so each repetition naturally trains your mouth movements and sense of rhythm.

Every time you read it, the tempo and timing change, letting you enjoy both the fun of speaking out and a good laugh—there’s plenty of challenge to it, isn’t there?

With repetition, the rhythm and pace of your voice change, letting you enjoy the fun of speaking and laughing at the same time—this tongue twister is addictive after just one read.
