Subject: [RNLD] Australian tongue twisters Dear Australianists,
I’m assembling some activities to support pronunciation skills development for
learners of Australian languages, one of which is the use of tongue twisters. If
anyone can offer any examples I’d be pleased to receive them, especially for
phones and phonotactics that are considered problematic for English speakers.
Regards,

John
