OO tongue twisters

This is a fun collection of OO tongue twisters that you can use for English pronunciation practice. These silly sentences mostly use the long oo sound /uː/, although there are also some short oo sound /ʊ/ twisters as well.

The long OO sound appears in words such as zoo, moon, soothe, and kangaroo. The short OO sound can be found in words like food, good, cook, hook, and wood. Both these OO sounds can be called digraphs because they involve the combination of two vowels to create a sound.
