Tongue twisters with numbers
 
Hello everyone!
 
I�m trying to collect tongue twisters in English which include numbers, to practise pronunciation.
For example, The sick sheik�s sixth sheep�s sick;Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb; Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks
Do you know any more? Once I�ve collected a few, I will put up a printable on the website.
Thank you!

In my linguistic research, tongue twisters with numbers showcase the complexity of phonetics and articulation. They challenge the speaker�s ability to product photo editing company rapidly enunciate numerical sequences, enhancing speech clarity and dexterity. Incorporating them into language learning or speech therapy exercises can improve pronunciation and fluency, making them valuable linguistic tools.
