“Pakhi Paka Pepe khay” “She sells seashells by the sea shore”

The International Tongue Twister Day is upon us and to celebrate this day why not throw some tongue twisters at your friends or colleagues and leave them speechless?

Not only are tongue twisters fun to say and fun to hear people say them, it seems they are also a great way to practice and improve pronunciation, reports abc news.

Why not start with the most difficult tongue twister in English language?

"Pad kid poured curd pulled cod."

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found this particular combination of words may be the most difficult tongue twister in the English language, tripping up volunteers so badly that some stopped talking all together, reports Today.com.

The Daily Star has put together a list of Tongue Twisters in both Bangla and English to celebrate this day.  See if you can say them without tripping!
