Talking Tongue twister!!

Like me many spanish learners have serious problem with Pronunciation. I have collected two tung-twisters in spanish. may be it would be usefull for removing shakiness of tung. Try to pronounce as fast as possible.

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

2) Tres tristes tigresa
comentrigo en un trigal
.

sosia has a spectacular aura aboutsosia has a spectacular aura about
-tres tristes tigres comen trigo en un trigal.

two similar ones:
-el alcalde de constantinopla se quiere desconstantinopolizar. El desconstantinopolizador que lo desconstantinopolice buen desconstantinopolizador será.
-El cielo está enladrillado. ¿Quién lo desenladrillará? EL desenladrillador que lo desenladrille buen desenladrillador será.

Saludos

En español se llaman "trabalenguas".

Sosia, te conoces los mismos que yo. Había otro con la perra de Parra y la porra de Guerra, pero no me acuerdo mucho. Era algo así como

Parra tenía una perra y Guerra tenía una parra.
La perra de Parra subió a la parra de Guerra y Guerra le pegó con una porra.
¿Por qué Guerra pegó a la perra de Parra con una porra?
Si la perra de Parra no se hubiera subido a la parra de Guerra, Guerra no habría pegado con la porra a la perra de Parra.

Más o menos era así (la métrica debía ser mejor, seguro). Ideal para practicar la "erre"

Lo del arzobispo lo sabía con "desconstantinopolitalizar" (etc.), un poco más difícil de decir.

I had to recite this every morning as I arrived to work.

She sells seashells by the seashore.

The girl that would make me do this got mad very quickly because I would say it like this...

Che sells seachells by the seachore... :-)

Her name is/was Cher.

I used to work with someone that kept going to:

the bitch and would spread the shit on the sand to get some sun!

Translation:

the beach and would spread the sheet on the sand to get some sun!

Yo solo sé trabalenguas en inglés.

The very famous Christmas carol has a line that goes "sleep in heavenly peace". I am not even going to tell you what I heard from a person singing this line with a thick Spanish accent. (unless you can't figure it out and you need to know)

No really is not necessary that a trabalenguas means something to be mentioned for people.
