Hi, Steemit community. Does any one of you learn French? If you do, then you might like this selection of funny (and quite challenging) French tongue twisters. See... The French language isn’t just about grammar rules and complicated conjugations. It’s also a language rich with sounds and words you can play with! I made the recordings with my voice.
The most famous French virelangue (this is the French for "tongue-twister") is probably this one:
(Are the archduchess’s socks dry or super-dry?)
Play my voice (and try to repeat. Just try!)
Try and repeat this several times in a row… It’s not easy, is it? Another one, pretty well-known...
(A hunter who knows how to hunt, knows how to hunt without his dog). Even as a native speaker of French, I must admit that it’s no piece of cake.
« s » [s] as in « salut » and « ch » [ʃ] as in « chocolat »:
« Un chasseur fit sécher ses chaussettes sur une souche sèche »
« Natacha n’attacha pas son chat Pacha qui s’échappa. Cela fâcha Sacha qui chassa Natacha. »
Play and try to repeat it.
« Juste juge ! Jugez Gilles, jeune et jaloux. »
Play it and try to repeat.
Play it and try to repeat.
Play it and try to repeat with my voice.
When you’re feeling more confident, you can try and repeat them... as fast as you can!
