Tongue twisters (conhecidos em português como trava línguas) são frases ou sequências de palavras de difícil pronunciação. Para estudantes de língua inglesa de diferentes níveis, os tongue twisters podem ser uma forma divertida e diferente de praticar inglês, especialmente a velocidade da pronuncia das palavras.
Na língua inglesa, os tongue twisters não são somente indicados para estudantes e crianças em fase de alfabetização, mas também para atores, políticos e palestrantes, que precisam falar sempre de maneira eloquente, geralmente diante de várias pessoas.
