I love playing a game of tongue twisters. Could you share some tongue twisters that you know? even if it's in your native tongue, just be sure to give a translation of the words. It could be long too.
Examples
Pitongpu't puting tupa = Pitongpu't(70) puting(white) tupa(sheep)
Pasko, Paksiw, Pasko Paksiw = Pasko (Christmas), Paksiw (Pork viand usually taken with rice)
She sells sea shells by the seashore
ang relo ni Leroy ay Rolex, ang(the) relo(watch) ni(of) Leroy(Leroy, a name) ay(is) Rolex.
Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.
So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot.
But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot,
Or Nott was shot.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott

Aside from Tagalog tongue twister, the first english that I know is "Peter piper" which is common in school.

Hahahaha same :D
Peter Piper is very common in school and I still cant get it right :)
I am also trying hard to pronounce "Pasko paksiw pasko paksiw" tagalog tongue twister that I usually pronounced as Paskiw x.x
by the way, for english readers:
Pasko means Christmas and Paksiw is some sort of a dish here in the philippines :D
Paskiw is well err.. a tongue typo :P

Hello,
Here's a couple for you to try..
I'm a mother pheasant plucker,
I pluck mother pheasants.
I'm the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker,
to ever pluck a mother pheasant. Actually, ...
I'm Not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's son.
But I'll stay and pluck the pheasants
Till the pheasant plucking 's done!

1. Ang relo ni Leroy Rolex.
(Leroy's watch is a Rolex.)
2. Minekaniko ni Moniko ang makina ng manika ni Monika.
(Moniko fixed the machine in the doll of Monika.)
3. Usong usong isang isang salu-salong nagsisi-usyosohan ang mga aso sa asosasyon sa Ascuzena.
(The dogs are busy sharing and talking at a dog association in Ascuzena.)
4. Bababa ba? Bababa.
(Will it descend? It will descend.)
5. Palakang Kabkab, kumakalabukab, kaka-kalabukab pa lamang, kumakalabukab na naman.
(A Kabkab frog, croaking, it was just croaking, now it's croaking again.)
The first two were the ones I know so much. You can have more tongue twisters in this site: www.alphadictionary.com/fun/tongue-twisters/tagalog_pilipino_tongue_twisters.html

I am learning Spanish from my girlfriend right now. She taught me those Spanish tongue twister, and I have to practice it for many, and many times. I can't translate it for you at the moment. Sorry!
