A tongue twister is really useful for acquiring a second language.
But what a tongue twister is?
We can define it as a sequence of words difficult to pronounce fast and correctly. So we can benefit from it to help our students improve on their pronunciation and fluency. From a more informal point of view, we could say Tongue Twisters are the perfect tool to exercise our students tongues, and we can also use them to enrich our students vocabulary.
On one hand tongue twisters are linguistic tools but in the other hand are also cultural representations of the target country/language.
They can be considered generally as a tool to improve on pronunciation and fluency and specifically a tool to improve on pronunciation of particular sounds isolated.
We can also use a particular tongue twister to work on specific tough sounds for our students. This is the case of the Spanish "R" pronounced as "RR" in certain cases. Using this little tongue twister [you can use any other one you find or make up for this purpose] we will help our students to improve their pronunciation on this difficult sound setting the stress bar low.

Por desenredar el enredo que ayer enredé,
hoy enredo el desenredo que desenredé ayer.
Hay una rara palmera paramera en el páramo.
