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. :-)

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.

[Kawaiiste]

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

And you will say 'Huh?'."

That's so true. xD

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 :).
