TONGUE TWISTER ¿What's that?

Tongue Twister no significa otra cosa que trabalenguas, en castellano son un desafió para muchos de nosotros, pero aún lo son más para nuestros alumnos ¿Y si probamos en inglés? 

Una forma de trabajar la pronunciación correcta de palabras muy similares son los trabalenguas, podemos comenzar con un juego para ver si diferenciamos la pronunciación de las palabras que son similares, por ejemplo Bitter, Butter y better; luego podemos jugar a decirlas más rápido y tratar de diferenciarlas y por último aprender el Tongue Twister y una vez nos lo sabemos tratar de decirlo lo más rápido posible haciendo notar la diferencia de pronunciación entre todas las palabras del mismo. A continuación os dejo algunos Tongue Twister que he encontrado en la red, algunos de ellos tienen hasta su propia canción (así lo hacemos más divertido)

• Rubber baby buggy bumpers

• She Sells seashells by the seashore

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

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter

But she said this bit of butter's bitter bitter

But a bit of better butter mixed with this butter bitter

just might make my bit of bitter butter better

Y ahora la canción

Sally sells sea shells by the shiny sea shore
So she can see the shimmering silver ships
In sunshiny summers she strolls along the sea shore
shoelessly splashing summersaults while she skips

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked

Y ahora la canción

Please pre-freeze these pretty peas

Or three pea thieves might flee with these

These fleeing thieves won't free the peas

They'll ignore your pleas of pretty please

So please before the three pea thieves

Go free with all these pretty peas

please oh please pre freeze these peas

So these three thieves won't flee with these

These three thieves won't flee with these

Y ahora la canción

Five fruit flies flew through three fields

Thirsty for free flower meals

One fruit fly thought it's too far

And hopped a ride inside a car

Four fruit flies flew through three fields

Thirsty for free flower meals

Three flies fought over where to fly

One swished away to a Swiss fish fry

Three fruit flies flew through three fields

Thirsty for free flower meals

One fruit fly flew far too low

A fast frog flicked its tongue uh oh

Two fruit flies flew through three fields

Thirsty for free flower meals

One fruit fly flew far too high

'til a sparrow swooped down from the sky

One fruit fly flew through three fields

Thirsty for free flower meals

It found a flower full of food

It slurped and slurped then burped how rude

That fruit fly flittered far away

But five more fruit flies flew that day

Y ahora la canción

Mucha suerte, las risas están aseguradas.
