Zungenbrecher/Tongue-Twisters

A response to Miss V's German tongue-twister video.

I was inspired to make this response because of Sugartalker's wonderful response on his STtalks channel:

The tongue twisters in German with English translations by FGAlxPx:
http://www.youtube.com/FGAlxPx

1) Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische;
Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze.

(The) Fisher(man)'s Fritz fishes fresh fish. Fresh fish fishes (the) fisher(man)'s Fritz.

2) Der Dachdecker deckt dein Dach, drum dank dem Dachdecker, der dein Dach deckt.

The roofer roofs a roof (/building), thus thank the roofer who roofs your roof (/building).

3) Am Zehnten Zehnten um zehn Uhr zehn zogen zehn zahme Ziegen zehn Zentner Zucker zum Zoo.

On 10/10 (10th of October) at 10 past 10 o'clock ten tame goats pulled ten centners sugar to the zoo.

Here are the English tongue-twisters that LuckyStrike502 tried out:

4. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

5. She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells

6. Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."

So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

tongue twisters are hard for me in either language and I immersed in US-Amerikaner English and Bayerische dialekt and you do kick ass at it...

Try this one (my favorite - fairly easy):

der kleine plappernde kaplan klebt poppige peppige pappplakate an die klappernde kapellwand!

not so easy to translate - but I'll give it a try:

the tiny blabbering chaplain glues trendy lively cardboard-placard at the rattling chapel wall

[Frankfurtjuergen]

Es ist sehr schön, Dir zuzuhören :-)

Und außerdem: Du siehst wuuuuuuuuuuunderschön aus :-)))))))))))

@Nichan1994 Naja, das R könnte auch noch etwas schöner rollen, wenn man kleinlich sein will ;) Aber stimmt schon, ganz gute Aussprache insgesamt.

[hackebeil20]

Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische. Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz.

English:

Fishers Fritz fishes for fresh fish. For fresh fish fishes Fishers Fritz.

Easy ;-)
