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!

I'll post the first one in English:
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?

CreatorVonDark I'll post the first one in English: 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? Fixed. razz 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!
Mí mamá me mima y yo mima a mí mamá.
Poquito a poquito Paquita empaca poquitas copitas en pocos paquetes.
Si yo como como como, y tu comes como comes, ¿cómo comes como como, si yo como como como?
Un carro cargado de rocas. Iba por la carretera haciendo. Carric, carrac, carric, carrac.
Tres tristes tigres, tragaban trigo en un trigal.
Compadre, cómprame un coco.
Compadre, coco no compro porque como poco coco, poco coco compro.
Ñoñe Yañez come ñame en las mañanas con el niño.
¿Lidia le da la lila a Lola, o quiere darle Lola la lila a Lidia?
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
que el que mucha capa parda compra
mucha capa parda paga.
Yo que mucha capa parda compré, mucha capa parda pagué.

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

El amor es una locura que sólo el cura lo cura, pero el cura que lo curo comete una gran locura.
Now some english ones:

apiyo how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. 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
Japanese
バスガスばくはつ - basu gasu baku hatsu
(bus gas explosion)
But for English I think we're all better off if I didn't say the 'Pheasent Plucker' one xD
