10 tongue twisters pour améliorer votre prononciation en anglais

Les tongue twisters, littéralement "qui fait tordre la langue",  sont un moyen très amusant d'améliorer sa prononciation. Je n'ai jamais su les prononcer parfaitement en français et je viens de le découvrir (shame on me), mais on les appelle en français les virelangues, casse-langues ou fourchelangues et trabalenguas en espagnol pour info.

Voilà deux virelangues que j'ai toujours eu du mal à prononcer:

"Les chaussettes de l'archi-duchesse, sont-elles sèches ou archi-sèches ?"

"Un chasseur sachant chasser doit savoir chasser sans son chien"

Quel le but de cet article me demanderiez-vous ? Ces phrases si difficiles à prononcer en français existe aussi dans la langue de Shakespeare, oui, oui, je vous assure

Betty Botter had some butter, “But,” she said, “this butter's bitter. If I bake this bitter butter, it would make my batter bitter. But a bit of better butter – that would make my batter better.”
So she bought a bit of butter, better than her bitter butter, and she baked it in her batter, and the batter was not bitter. So 'twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.

10_Doctor doctoring 
When a doctor doctors a doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as he wants to doctor?
