Back when I was in Japanese 7-8, my teacher would give us tongue twisters in order to aid our pronunciation and teach us to speak faster, clearer and smoother. They work. Haha.
o 3o Apparently she used to get these as a speech exercise and professionals use はやロことば for practice as well.

My class made a contest out of it. We'd get into teams and see who could say them the best, fastest and clearest. It's good practice.

すももも、 ももも、 もものうち

That is just hilarious to say. xd It's almost like Bobobo bo bobo or w/e that was called.

There's a line in a song that I like that I can never get straight because it's basically a tongue twister.
嫌でも人は場所を取る
Iya demo hito wa basho wo toru
People take up space whether they want to or not
