I told you to take it, so why didn’t you take it? I thought you were taking it.NEW!
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 wallNEW!
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.NEW!
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!
100 passenger aircraft, 100 passengers each
A tongue twister that’s hard even when spoken slowly: “100 passenger planes, 100 passengers each.” Let’s first go over the reading step by step.
"旅客機" is read as "ryokakuki," and the part "客各100人" is read as "kaku-kyaku hyaku-nin." In other words, each of the 100 airplanes has 100 passengers on board.
If you insert a slight pause after “kaku,” you’ll be more likely to succeed.
Incidentally, there’s an even harder version: “In Massachusetts, 100 passenger planes, with 100 persimmon-eating passengers each, are riding a gas-spraying bus and the bus gas explodes.” If you want to raise the difficulty, give that one a try too.
lukewarm shoulder massager
It’s a tongue twister that gives you a vaguely unpleasant feeling: a shoulder-massaging tapper that’s lukewarm when you press it against your shoulder.
Because it’s a simple combination of “shoulder tapper” and “lukewarm,” you can clearly picture the situation.
It’s neither cold nor warm—being “lukewarm” is what makes it feel unpleasant.
Since there are many repeated sounds, clearly pronouncing those parts as you go is the key to making it easier to say.
