1) Ramon Raton ratoneaba con su raton
rato y rato elmuy tardon.

2) Tres tristes tigresa
comentrigo en un trigal.

The guys at the shop say it like this:

tres tristes tigres tragamos a las tres tristes trastes. No se porque

Parangaricutirimicuaro.


Please you most to repeat that around ten times.

at work when I say this they reply with, "parangaricutirimicuararie".

Since this is a site for improving our language skills, I think someone should mention that the word "tongue" is spelt like that.

"Worker humor". As if they were taking the place of the three sad tigers, and the rest, to keep the flow with the "trabalenguas".

They're from Michoacán, so they must be also playing with the sound of the words in tarasco.


@Pjt: Thank you. Thread title corrected.

Alright everybody. Try this on for size!!! I know one of the most difficult tongue twisters around. You must pronounce it correctly to get the full effect. Ready . . . ?

Toy boat

Seems simple? Say it three times as fast as you can. I guarantee you will get mixed up. Good luck

Oh and for fun.

She sells sea shells by the sea shore

Another hard tonguetwister in English is:

Fruit float

Try repeating it quickly and I bet you discover flutes and froats....

A guy at work watched Mary Poppins, in Spanish I'm assuming, and he says, "superfrajalisticoespuerespiadiloso" I didn't know you could translate that!?!?!?!?!

Had to be translated. Else, how could it be said in Spanish?

I was taught that "she sells seashells..." one while trying to teach me the "sh" sound.

This was a girl whose name was Cher and I pronounced it as "chair". She would always say "that is something you sit on it", until I got what she was saying, to which I started to reply "I know!". Needless to say, she did not like it.

Disney movies have always been very popular, so they have to be adapted to foreign languages.
