We’ve all been tripped up by tongue-twisters. That’s the whole point! But at a neuroscientific level, they’re as difficult to understand as they are to say.

Its something people can do with their kids as a tool to create habits. It also helps understanding mindfulness. This app was very help for me while going through a rough time. The pacing of habit building can be weird at times. It's very helpful for myself during depressive episode. It's not a tool for everyone.

Now that's weird, because I'm dyslexic yet so called 'tongue-twisters' are very easy for me. None of the examples gave me much/any difficulty. I can't get my head around formal English; nouns, verbs, adjectives etc just don't gel with me. Learning any foreign language or formal math/algebra is a nightmare; it's like asking someone who is colour-blind to sort and order items only by their colour. Very frustrating.

Ironically, I have the easiest time saying a tongue twister on the first go. It's the repeats that trip me up, even if I'm not going fast. If I'm reading a tongue twister word by word for the first time, each word just comes in as I read it, and say it. When I try to repeat it, the words are much more likely to get mixed up in my head as they're percolating in my short term memory.

I highly recommend the poem, "The Chaos" by Gerard Nolst Trenité. It's much more than a simple tongue twister, it's more of a jab at the seemingly silly rules of how words are written compared to how they are spoken in English. It's a fantastic way to practice your pronunciation.

Signed languages also have a version of tongue-twisters, but they're called "finger fumblers," instead. And instead of being built on similar consonant and vowel sounds, they're built on hand shape and hand motion. So it's not just how the brain processes speech, per se, but *language*

The 'pad tim' one didn't read too badly. Very nice. My favorite one is, "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" You can then continue with, "A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a wood-chuckin' woodchuck could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood." Preferably read aloud very fast. You can replace 'a wood-chukin' woodchuck' with 'he' for a better rhythm.

Although tongue twisters are universal, I do believe some languages can produce harder ones than others depending on their phonetic inventory and their syllabic structure. English has an insane number of vowel sounds that are difficult to distinguish and produce to non-native speakers and a very complex syllabic structure, compared to say Spanish. With only five vowel sounds and virtually no consonant clusters, Spanish tongue twisters seem to cause less trouble than English or French ones. Now, languages like Polish and Georgian that are full of consonant clusters might be the hardest of all.

its because your brain outside of your subconscious computing, literality auto corrects your sentences like your phone would to create a quick communicable message to send audibly through the methods you beautifully described. The expectation of what's to come from in your sentences is your subconscious understanding of previous communicational interactions; than, those such experiences, automatically from the subconscious, inferences your next words to than create a composable sentence of understanding based on its preprogrammed ability to fill in the gaps for the appropriate social conversation. Actively Thinking only turns the subconscious into conscious and since the subconscious is clearly in all neurological programming to convey to the conscious, the subconscious being the smart part of your brain; you trying too consciously articulate a full and understood linguistic sentence outside of your subconscious programming is like trying run without knowing how to walk yet. :) lol

I wonder if this brain structure differentiation for the processing of vowels and consonants goes back to when we first started developing speech? The easiest way to code information into any format, be it digital or sound, is binary. Am I saying a vowel or a consonant? This structure develops and becomes more advanced at distinguishing them, then more advanced at distinguishing different sounds within them, allowing for the development of more complex words. That would make the vowel and consonant areas the binary systems of our brains' logic processing. Kind of neat to think about

In some languages, tongue twister-like words/sentences may have actually been grammaticalised in that some languages don't allow certain consonants, like 's' and 'sh', in the same word. It's a bit like how a word like 'seashore' might be changed to 'sheashore' to make it easier to say. This is called 'consonant harmony' (and yes, vowel harmony is also a thing).

Instead it creates an image of something unimaginable "pulled cod."

It's basically genetic in my family that we constantly trip over our words, even if they aren't twisters.

Maybe you're speaking too fast. I trip over words constantly, it happened in my teens when I started speaking so fast almost no one could understand me. I still have that problem that only people to whom I talk regularly are used to how fast I talk.

@@norma8686 Sounds about right, at least for myself. Plus, a very mild form of cerebral palsy, I suppose. For my mom, I presume side effects of her medication. I don't know about the rest of my family, though.

Wonder how accents interact with this. Americans tend to stress broad vowels really strongly in a way that I just don't as an Irish person. The "scientifically toughest tongue twister" didn't seem all that tough to me, even repeating it a few times.

Maybe another name for “tongue twisters” could be “brain busters?”

I'm guessing people speaking germsnic languages have a fairly easy time with English twisters due to how letters are pronounced in the family. Slightly off topic. That hilarious time I though a Serbian to master the Swedish word öl without sounding like she was throwing up
