Hi everyone,
Most languages have their own, and they can be quite a challenge for adults and children alike ... Tongue Twisters are phrases designed to be particularly difficult to articulate. They can be used to help improve one's pronunciation, but most importantly they're a usually a good laugh
As my mother tongue is French, I only know tongue twisters in that language and none in English. Since yesterday was Tongue twisters Day, I thought it'd be a great opportunity for you guys to help me discover some of your favourite tongue twisters, in English or any language! It'll be really fun to see what they look like, and try to pronounce them
Here are a couple of French "virelangues":
Looking forward to your replies

Well, the first is for cunning stunts...
