I'm not even trying that. I already have too big an accent as it is. Try asking "I'll be back" Van Damme to do that. You'd still get a better result than from me <_<

ehm.... wasn't it 'Aaaahnold' Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator who said: 'I'll be back' ? or am I missing something here....

Ha! That was easy.

EDIT - I think the seashells are really difficoult - woodchuck isn't that hard...

Try this:
She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

Damn that's good. Didn't expect it.

I think the Woodchuck is terribly easy but I had some problems woth the seashell at the beginning.

Here are two German ones that are quite hard if you repeat 'em 10 times ...

- Die Katze tritt die Treppe krumm.
(The cat uses the stairs and bends 'em)

- Querkrawatte
(askew-tie)

OK here. You all think that your English is fluent and perfect ?

Follow this three simple steps to ruin your tongue :bleh: :


(for beginners)
Three witches watch three swatch watches. Which witch watches
which swatch watch?

This has nothing to do with knowing a language. I know several professors of linguistics who couldn't manage these tongue twisters. This kind of thing is only about "osculatory agility," and a damn sight less fun than being an effective kisser, too. k:

Fair enough. But failing miserably at pronouncing toungue-twisters is also a whole lot less embarassing... :whistle:

[Sebatianos]

And if you're good at both? :angel: :whistle:

Here's another hungarian one:
"Mit sütsz kis szűcs? Tán sós húst sütsz, kis szűcs?"

and it means approx. (my english is not so good, so fellow hungarians please help me out with this one ) "What are you roasting little furrier? Is it salted meat perhaps what you're roasting little furrier?"

This one is a notorius tongue-twister, because of the 's'-s and 'sz'-s being so close to the 't'-s and each other. It can be tough . ( I'm not familar with teaching hungarian as a foreign language but 's' is like the 'sh' in the english word 'shoot', and 'sz' is pronunciated like the 's' in the word 'see'. 'T' is 't' )

:w00t: Another Hungarian????? HERE? :Brain:

I though I'm the only one. (duh!)
Okay, so my novelty is over

"Mit sütsz kis szűcs? Talán sós húst sütsz kis szűcs?"

Well, I'll be damned if I didn't thought about that. I was gonna post that right here when I saw somebody already done it :blink:

The translation is pretty much the same (good work k: )

@piroklasztit

Te magyar vagy? Vagy csak szedted valahonnan ezt a nyelvtörőt? Tényleg abba voltam, hogy én vagyok az egyetlen

[PrejudiceSucks]

That's easy for you to say!
