"They will say 'Can you say Nama-mugi nama-gome nama-tamago'?

And you will say 'Huh?'."

That's so true. xD

[evolutionoforage]

[Tetrafirez]

raw wheat raw rice is hard enough to say in english! To me it becomes "raw reat raw rice" xD sounds like an asian accent

[sasami9000]

yeah!! i did it.. hehehe ^^

[Miss2elgatta]

Oh my goodness that was great

I think the best part about these tongue twisters is they make learning the words easier to remember. It's like putting them into music, then whenever you need to remember the words, you simply recite the tongue twister to yourself.

So thanks to this video, I learned four new words :).

Very fun! I impressed my husband today haha!

[DeasTube]

I will be. Patience! Ha ha.

Gah- this reminds me of when my Spanish teacher made us do Spanish tongue twisters... No matter how fast I can talk in ANY language (Which is like 1 (English) andbarely 2 (Japanese/ Spanish)) I can NEVER do tongue twisters... Not even the she shells sea shells by the sea shore... I am a horrible person XDD Thanks though! I will force myself to become a master at it! ^^

I've never been able to say this one properly... I always put too much emphasis on the tamago. "Nama tama-GO!"... it's more rhythmic, but slows it down.

[enbejey]

Great video! Looking forward to more.

[eirinbe]

I keep saying 'tanamo' instead of tamago xD

[DeasTube]

Try slowing it down a bit more and saying each syllable as you clap a rhythm. Make it simple before you speed it up. ;-) Ganbare!

[eirinbe]

Ok, thanks for the tip. Hopefully, tanamo does not mean anything in japanese? x)

[DeasTube]

Tanamo? Hmmm. Nothing in my dictionary.

By the way - on my blog post, I've included an audio clip where I say the tongue twister 3 times, starting slow and speeding up. You could try shadowing that too, if you like. :-)

[eirinbe]

Ok, i'll do that. :)

Thanks a lot for your time!

(And sorry for my lousy english. Im kind of lazy today)

[Broan13]

Loved it. Gonna harass my Japanese students with them!

[DeasTube]

You should wait for the hard ones. Then you can use them against your students. Ha ha.

[Broan13]

Well quickly now, make them before the semester is over!
