Someone asked me "What is your favourite tongue twister?" recently. She sells sea shells down by the sea shore is probably the most famous tongue twister, but my answer has to be Betty Botter! Here it is, at least the version I can remember:


Betty Botter bought a bit of butter ,

but she said "This butter's bitter!

If I buy a bit of better butter,

it will make my bit of bitter butter better!"

So, she bought a bit of better butter

and it made her bit of bitter butter better!




tongue twister: 早口言葉

favourite: お気に入り、一番好きな

probably: 多分

shell(s): 貝殻

down by: 貝殻

shore: 海岸

a bit of: 少し

bitter: 苦い
