So when my students get that exhausted, almost ready to pass out look on their faces, I hit 'em with my new tongue twister. They all get involved with trying to say it, and it's funny because the meaning is stupid and it's hard to say.

���� ���� ���� �ڵ� ���� �Դ���.

It translates to "I am very often eating plum trees." I couldn't think of any more "ah-oo" sounds, otherwise I'd toss them in there as well.

I usually write it like this, to pique their curiosity and add to the hilarity.



Feel free to add your own tongue twisters here, or to borrow mine.

This is English! I am very often eating plum trees, right?

Nahh... as I said, it's just to get them roused up and listening again. Something fun for that 10th-straight-hour-of-being-at-school weariness that sets in.
