Can they really improve your

pronunciation

? Yes absolutely. A tongue twister is a phrase or sentence that is difficult to say, usually because many of the sounds are repeated and are similar sounds. And the reason they're so hard is because you're supposed to say them quickly and accurately without stumbling over your words and running out of words, but that's part of the fun. Now the meaning of tongue twisters is that they are often completely ridiculous. They are not meant to be understood. Instead, think of them as a tool to help you repeatedly
