Long Text & Consecutive Challenge Tongue Twisters (11–20)
The Prime Minister likes vinegar soy sauce.
“Shu” and “sho” are hard to pronounce, aren’t they? This tongue twister focuses on that.
In the phrase, it uses the word shushō (prime minister), which contains both “shu” and “sho,” and shōyu (soy sauce), which contains “sho.” On top of that, adding sujōyu (vinegar-soy sauce) brings in “su,” making it even harder to pronounce.
It also cleverly rhymes the “su” in su (vinegar) with the “su” in suki (like).
Since it’s quite a mouthful, try practicing it repeatedly.
By the way, if you leave out the “su,” it becomes much easier to say, so give that a try.
Long-form/Consecutive Challenge Tongue Twisters (21–30)
You keep calling me “you, you,” but I don’t go around calling you “you, you,” so stop calling me “you, you,” you!
The fun part is how your tongue gets twisted by repeating “anta” and “atashi” over and over.
It’s great practice for rhythm and pronunciation when read aloud by both kids and adults.
It feels like a humorous exchange—“Don’t say anta or atashi!”—almost like a real conversation.
The key is to savor the words and laugh as you take on the challenge.
Each read creates slightly different rhythms and pauses, so repeating it makes it even more enjoyable.
It’s a playful way to cultivate a feel for language—and once you read it, you might find it irresistibly catchy.
I told you to take it, so why didn’t you take it? I thought you were taking it.
A slightly chuckle-worthy tongue twister where the sounds “chi” and “to” pop up again and again.
Its charm is that when you try to read it, your mouth gets tangled and you can’t help but laugh.
For children, it becomes practice in moving the tongue while playing, and for adults, it can be enjoyed as a tongue exercise.
There’s even a story-like exchange of “I told you to do it but you didn’t… or so I thought, but actually you did,” so when you read it aloud, it feels like a little conversation.
Each repetition changes the rhythm and timing, so you discover new fun every time you read it.
bread wall
This is a tongue twister packed with the fun of rhythm and repetition.
If you try to say “pan-kabe, pan-kabe, pan-kabe…” ten times in a row, your mouth will get tangled, and you can’t help but laugh—that’s the charm.
For kids, it becomes a playful exercise for the tongue and mouth, and for adults, it’s enjoyable as a tongue workout and pronunciation practice.
The slightly quirky pairing of “bread” (pan) and “wall” (kabe) creates a sense of rhythm, and it’s interesting that your voice and timing shift a little each time you read it.
Even with short words, the repetition makes your brain and mouth work at full speed, bringing laughter and new discoveries with every try—a tongue twister full of playfulness.
A noble enemy’s shoulder-tapping machine, devoted to a vertically written letter dashed off with its mane bristling; to drawing shadows that locked a key on a half-scorched bamboo fence of a horsehair crab set out with a detective to a cliff and a surgeon; and to writing a radical opera, chipped a bamboo stand propped up halfway.
A tongue twister packed with continuous sounds that tangle your tongue—perfect for a real challenge.
In this long phrase, similar sounds like “ka,” “ke,” “ta,” and “ki” appear over and over, so when you speak it aloud your mouth quickly can’t keep up.
Kids can tackle it playfully while imagining a story, and adults can enjoy it as an exercise for the tongue and mouth or for pronunciation practice.
Each reading changes the rhythm and pacing, letting you savor both the joy of voicing it and a good laugh at the same time.
By repeating complex sounds, it offers both a sense of challenge and accomplishment—an ultra-advanced tongue twister!
