Well, people. I think that in every languaje we have that sort of game that makes us spend a good time trying them. Let's share some of those games. I'd say that the languaje doesn't really matter, so go ahead!

Peter Piper picked a pick of pickle pepper.
Did Peter Piper pick a pick of pickle pepper?
If Peter Piper picked a pick of pickle pepper,
where's the pick of pickle pepper Peter Piper picked?

And your version is a bit different from what I've always heard, but they cause the same sort of tongue confuzzlement, though.

Meep!

I have a bunch in Spanish... so I'll post them here.

Yo heart trabalenguas!

De Guadalajara vengo, jarra traigo, jarra vend, a medio doy cada jarra, ¡Que jarra tan cara traigo de Guadalajara!

El tomatero Matute mató al matutero Mota porque Mota el matutero tomó de su tomatera un tomate. Por eso, por un tomate mató el tomatero Matute al matutero Mota.

Cuando cuentes cuentos, cuenta cuantas cuentos cuentas. Porque cuando cuentas cuentos, nunca sabes cuantos cuentos cuentas.

Compadre de la capa parda,
no compre usted más capa parda

That one's great! It's been a while since a "tongue-twister" got the better of me. XD

Here are two in Portuguese:

O tempo perguntou ao Tempo
quanto tempo o Tempo tem.
O Tempo respondeu ao tempo
que o tempo tem tanto tempo
quanto tempo o Tempo tem.

Há um ninho de malfamagrifos
Com cinco malfamagrifinhos
Cada vez que vai a malfamagrifa
Dar leite aos malfamagrifinhos
Fazem tal malfamagrifada
Que até a malfamagrifa
Fica toda baralhada.

Quien los desconstantinopolizare
buen desconstantinopolizador será.

I know an extension off of that one...

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all he could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood!"

I've never considered the woodchuck thing to be a tongue twister, as I find it exceptionally easy to say.

Also, as a sidenote, go to Babelfish and translate said woodchuck phrase into and out of Korean.

I remember this from Azumanga Daioh xD
