Tongue Twisters in Spanish

One of my favorite exercises to learn a language are tongue twisters. It doesn't really matter if you are beginner or advanced, when you practice these exercises, you are training your brain and stimulating it with different sounds.

It is something more complicated than just saying similar words in a sentence.
Actually, a team of scientists of the University of California, San Francisco have discovered the way in which neuronal activity works to formulate speech sounds.

They found that the brain coordinates the joint according to the muscles that need to be moved.

Tongue twisters are difficult because the brain confuses the sounds that form in different parts of the tongue.

Here I share with you some of my favorite tongue twisters in spanish, have fun!
