One thing that has been used as a form of enjoyment for many years are tongue twisters. This is the type of combination of words or longer phrase that is difficult to be able to say because the words are somewhat similar to each other. Not only is it enjoyable to be able to learn how to say these properly yourself, many people enjoy hearing other people try to say them. There are several different ways in which these tongue twisters occur.

One of the first ways is where a phrase is put together that is similar sounding or contains many of the same types of word structures. It makes it very difficult for these phrases to be spoken quickly and sometimes spoken at all. A classic example of this would be the tongue twister "She Sells Sea Shells by the Seashore". Another type of tongue twister that is very popular is where a small phrase, usually two or three words is spoken repetitively and it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain those words. A good example of this would be trying to say "Skunk Stump" several times in rapid succession.

Tongue twisters are not only found in the English language, they can be found in almost any language. There are several different databases that are available which contain these tongue twisters for your amusement. The next time you have some free time, try some of these tongue twisters for yourself. It's an enjoyable way to pass some time and can even improve on your language abilities.
