I know I've posted it here before, but it's still one of my favourite Polish tongue twisters:

These are fun. Does anyone know whether tongue twisters in one's own native language are more difficult than in unfamiliar languages? I randomly read some from the link and some didn't seem as bad as the usual "peter picked" and "sally sells seashells" in English which I can't even say.
For instance, from the Occitan example: Tap tarat taparà, tap pas tarat taparà pas I can rattle this off pretty easily. It's actually quite fun to say - try it! Certainly it seems easier than "Peter picked a...." which I stumble over. Of course, I may be pronouncing it grossly incorrectly so it only seems easier. Ideas? Would an Occitan speaker find English tongue twisters easier? 1 person has voted this message useful |
