Make clothes while having a stomachache
It’s a tongue twister that seems to depict perseverance in a tough situation—making clothes even when your stomach hurts.
The first thing that comes to mind is the sense of suffering, and you can’t help but think it’d be better to rest rather than push yourself.
Precisely because it’s a simple phrase made of two blocks, it sparks the imagination: were they in a situation where they had to make clothes, and so on? There are two “fuku” sounds—hara (belly) and fuku (clothes)—so if you pay attention to how you connect the words from there, it might be easier to say.
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.

Good house, yay!
@otanikenta♬ Original song – Kenta Otani – Kenta Otani
This tongue twister talks about a stingray’s house.
If you picture the scene, it’s a heartwarming image, but it’s tricky because the words only use the sounds “i” and “e.” As a practice method, first separate the first half and the second half, practice each until you can say them quickly, and then connect the two parts.
Also, if you blend the “ei-ie” part and pronounce it like “eiiyei,” it should get a bit easier.
Be sure to add it to your tongue-twister repertoire and have fun with it!
Author intraoperative
The tongue twister “chosakusha shujutsu-chu” (author undergoing surgery) gives off a somewhat serious vibe.
It makes you wonder what happened to the author, doesn’t it? This tongue twister is simply composed of hard-to-say words lined up in a row.
However, it’s trickier than it looks, so be careful.
In particular, the “shujutsu” part is where many people stumble.
Also, because it’s short, you keep running into the tricky spots as you repeat it, which is one reason it’s so difficult.
Major Char, Major Char, Major Char
This is a tongue twister where you say “Major Char” from Mobile Suit Gundam three times in a row.
Because the sounds “sha” and “shi” are similar, it’s easy to get pulled toward one or the other.
Pay attention to your tongue position and mouth shape, and aim for precise pronunciation.
Gradually increase your speed to get a feel for the rhythm.
A key to success is pronouncing the final “sa” correctly after saying “sha” and “sho.” Try speaking clearly and briskly to master it.
