Parlendas are childish rhymes in the form of verses that can rhyme or not. Generally speaking, conversations are related to some type of social interaction, such as games and body movements. Within the universe of parlendas, there is a game that is our old acquaintance, the type of activity that is transmitted from generation to generation and that never goes out of style: the tongue twister. What a funny name, isn't it? Why this name “tongue twister”?
Well, because it is a verbal game that consists of saying quickly and clearly verses and sentences with syllables difficult to pronounce, the game ended up earning this name, because it gives a real knot in the language of those who joke! Tongue twisters have their origins in popular culture and can be a very interesting game, which can help us to improve our pronunciation and diction, in addition to being a game that can be played between friends, causing disputes and many guffaws:
See now some examples of tongue twisters so you can not only exercise your language, but also put the language into practice:
Bring three plates of wheat for three sad tigers to eat
The mouse gnawed at the clothes of the King of Rome, the queen angrily decided to mend
The priest has little cape, because little cape buys
The tongue twister can be played with friends and, in addition to being a game, it can be a great language exercise
TIME
Time asked time,
How long does the time have,
Time responded to time,
I didn't have time,
To see how long,
Time has.
