Portuguese Tongue Twister Challenge – Speak, Stick, Score!
In this fun and interactive workshop, participants explore the playful world of tongue twisters! Earn stickers by learning how to pronounce Portuguese tongue-twisters, from the most simple to the most tricky ones.
This activity encourages language play, pronunciation skills, and confidence in speaking. Participants can aim for prizes or collect enough points to earn a special “Tongue Untwister” certificate. It’s a lively and inclusive experience for all ages. No prior experience needed, just a willingness to twist your tongue and have fun!
In partnership with the Camões Centre for Portuguese Language at Leeds and Camões, IP Reino Unido e Ilhas do Canal.
