Tongue twisters !!!!

Have you ever tried to say a tongue twister in English? At least for me it's really difficult; but what are tongue twisters?  

'Tongue twisters are phrases or sentences  that often uses the same sound again and again. You must repeat them as quickly as possible whilst still making sure you are speaking clearly (...) Tongue twisters are word games which are fantastic to improve our pronunciation when speaking English'.

Can you say this sentence?
I thought I thought of thinking of thanking you.
So why are tongue twisters useful for your pronunciation practice? Aren't they just silly sentences without any purpose?

Really,  they are silly, but the repetition of the same sound is incredibly useful. When you exercise the same pronunciation muscles again and again, you are training them to get stronger and use that sound naturally.
