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
